The Old Fire Station cafe bar is a welcoming space designed with the whole community in mind and the Brewery, Bakery, Café & Bar have quickly become the heart of the evolving cultural quarter.

Strong Roots

We’re building on our rich heritage of brewing beer and baking bread. James Prescott Joule – physicist, mathematician and brewer – was based a few steps away from Lark Hill Brewery. The construction of Salford Technical College was funded to “distil wisdom out of whisky, genius out of gin, and capacity for business out of beer”. And baking was taught at the Royal Technical College until the 1960s!
