Visiting Bridge 5 Mill

Opening times

Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm (except bank holidays).

How to get to us on foot or bike

If you are travelling from Manchester City Centre you can walk or cycle along the Ashton Canal since it is quiet and picturesque during the day. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from Piccadilly Train Station. At the bottom of the ramp on Piccadilly Approach turn right up Ducie Street. After the bridge on your right, turn right and drop onto the Ashton Canal at Paradise Wharf (there is an old black and white advertisment on the wall for Howarth Brothers). Follow the canal tow path round to the left; continue past Piccadilly Village and under Great Ancoats Street. Walk along the canal until you reach Bridge No 5; go up the steps onto Beswick Street. Turn right and Bridge 5 Mill is just over the bridge on your right. See map

How to get to us by bus

The 216 leaves Piccadilly Gardens every few minutes for Ancoats - it takes about ten minutes. Board bus no 216 outside Nobles Amusement Arcade, ask for 'The Mitchell Arms' pub or Beswick Street. Get off just after you see the pub on the left, on Ashton New Road , and walk back towards Beswick Street. Turn right up Beswick Street and continue up the hill. Bridge 5 Mill is on the brow of the hill, just after Pollard Street and the tiny Spectator Street. The entrance is on Beswick Street through the black railings and at the bottom of the garden steps and ramp. See map

Travelling by car from the city centre

Make for Great Ancoats Street (the inner relief road) east of Piccadilly Train Station. Then travel out of the city centre up Old Mill Street (on the corner is an Argos superstore). Travel up Old Mill Street , past the old Ancoat's Hospital on the right until you come to a set of traffic lights at the cross roads of Butler Street , Beswick Street and Bradford Road . Turn right down Beswick Street , immediately over the canal bridge is Bridge 5 Mill on the right. See map.
