Portland Street is a street which runs from Piccadilly at its junction with Newton Street southwards to Oxford Street at its junction with Chepstow Street in Manchester, England. The major buildings of Portland Street include the largest former warehouse in the city centre, Watts Warehouse (grade II

==Location==
Portland Street was a name given to a new street on the site of a lane called Garrett Lane after a 14th-century hall, Garrett Hall; like some others it was borrowed from the street of the same name in London by wealthy Manchester men in the early 19th century.〔Bradshaw, L. D. (1985). ''Origins of Street Names in the City of Manchester''. Radcliffe: Neil Richardson. ISBN 0-907511-87-2; p. 39〕 It became Victorian Manchester's showpiece: until the 1850s it ended at David Street (afterwards renamed Princess Street). From the 1840s this part of the town began to be taken over by warehouses and during the 1850s and 1860s they predominated in Portland Street.
The 1911 Victoria County History refers to "a very fine vista of unbroken line" of warehouse buildings "chiefly constructed in brick and terra cotta". Its parade of impressive buildings was reduced by bombing during the second World War and some later development ignored the old building line.〔Atkins, Philip (1976) ''Guide across Manchester''. Manchester: Civic Trust for the North West ISBN 0-901347-29-9; pp. 26–27, 30-31〕
