Northern Quarter

Tomorrow I'm going on a tour of the Northern Quarter

The "Northern Quarter" as such did not exist as a distinct area until the mid 1990's when a number of interested parties got together and defined a boundary, came up with the name and branded the area as such, this has proved extremely successful since most people are un aware this ever occurred or did so extremely recently.

The area is also known as a home to the creative industries, and in particular fashion design, with various designers, agencies, and clothing wholesalers populating its back streets. There are also a number of commercial art galleries in the area.
