Interior Design

The cafe’s floor comprises a notable mosaic design featuring 1.2-meter tiles, complemented by Dunlop rubber flooring. These flooring elements were characteristic design choices of the mid-twentieth century and remain integral to the venue’s historical character. A heritage-preserved board table, associated with Manchester Unity, forms part of the cafe’s significant fixtures and contributes to its cultural heritage value.
