We saw a lot of love for Ducie House in Manchester this week after we made some announcements about office space at the building (£50 per week by the way).

It led to some great stories from people on Twitter and Facebook, all of whom appeared to either love the building, or knew someone who had at one time worked in there. It also became a trend on the What’s Happnin in Manchester blog.

It brought it home to us that Ducie has been the birthplace of some of Manchester’s great businesses like Brazen PR, Ear to the Ground and award winning software company, ANS. It was also the first home of musicians and DJs like A Guy Called Gerald and Manc legends 808 State as well as Simply Red and music producer John Drape.

We’re really proud to have that on our record. It’s something we hope to replicate at new schemes such as Mersey House in Speke and Slater Street in Liverpool.

But in the meantime – thanks to last week’s love-in – we’re really keen to launch a Ducie Hall of Fame blog, so email us at blog@urbansplash.co.uk or Tweet us with your memories, stories – and preferably pictures of the building. Alternatively, jot ‘em down on our Facebook page.
