ABC Wednesday: "Z" is for the only letter in Dantzic Street



"Z" is the only letter that has not fallen off of the Dantzic Street street sign mounted on Holyoake House, one of the Cooperative's early 20th century buildings. (built 1911).

Prior to the Co-op developments,the area was once known as Angels' Meadow and was a centre of impoverished slum dwellings for workers who kept Manchester's 19th century factories going; making profits for the owners at the expense of their own happiness, sanity and lives.

Linked to ABC Wednesday where we finish off another 26 week round at "Z".
