MediaCityUK at Night
Photograph taken from the multi-storey car park at the Lowry Outlet Mall looking across the body of water now called “North Bay” towards the modern buildings of MediaCityUK. North Bay was once part of No 9 Dock, the largest and most important on Manchester (Salford) Docks. It opened in 1905 and was home to the passenger and shipping company, Manchester Liners. At over half a mile in length 9 Dock was big enough to hold 10 ocean liners or large container ships, enabling the Port to remain internationally competitive until the 1960s.
Since then the area surrounding 9 Dock has dramatically transformed from industrial landscape to luxurious waterside development. Today it is home to residents and businesses including MediaCityUK.
