==History== Deansgate is one of the city's oldest thoroughfares. In Roman times its route passed close to the fort of Mamucium and led from the River Medlock, where there was a ford and the road to Deva (Chester). Several civilian buildings and a mansio were located along it in the area now occupied by the Beetham Tower. Part of the route was known as Aldport Lane from Saxon times, Aldport being the Saxon name for Castlefield. Until the 1730s the surrounding area remained rural, but it became built up following the development of a quay on the river.
