HistoryThe oldest building of its kind in Manchester, it was built in 1552 next to the market square which led off what is now Market Street, in what was known as the Shambles.[2] In 1554 part of it became a draper's shop, owned by the Byrom family,[3] and the writer John Byrom was born there in 1692.[4] The building had a third storey added to it in the 17th century.[5] In 1830 the building became a licensed public house, known as the Vintners Arms, and later the Kenyon Vaults. By 1865 the ground floor of the building was known as the Wellington Inn, while the upper floors were used by makers of mathematical and optical instruments. Later, in 1897, the upper floors were used as a fishing tackle shop, known as "Ye Olde Fyshing Tackle Shoppe".[2] In the 1970s the Old Shambles was underpinned with a concrete raft and raised by {{convert|1.4|m|in}} designed by Fred Kennedy(Draughtsman), to fit in with the development of the Arndale Centre;[5] the Inn was reopened in 1981.[2] It was damaged in the 1996 Manchester bombing, and was reopened in February 1997, with costs of £500,000 paid to repair the damage.[6] However, in preparation for the city's development in the bomb's aftermath, it was decided that the building, alongside its neighbour Sinclair's Oyster Bar, should be dismantled and rebuilt {{convert|300|m}} towards the cathedral to form Shambles Square.[7] The move was completed by November 1999, when the pub reopened.[5] See also{{portal|Greater Manchester}}
