Pomona Island (Manchester docks)

Pomona Island in Manchester has an interesting history! Once a bustling industrial dockland, it has undergone significant regeneration in recent years. The area is now home to Pomona Wharf, a residential development offering waterside views and excellent city connectivity.

Historically, Pomona Island was a leisure retreat with botanical gardens and the Royal Pomona Palace, which was larger than the Albert Hall. Over time, it became an industrial hub serving the Manchester Ship Canal, before falling into disuse. However, recent developments aim to transform it into a thriving quayside community with thousands of new homes, shops, and green spaces
