Shambles Square is a square in Manchester, England, created in 1999 to house the rebuilt Old Wellington Inn and Sinclair's Oyster Bar next to The Mitre Hotel. == Etymology ==
"Shambles" was a name originally used for a street of butchers shops where meat was slaughtered and sold. It is derived from the Middle English word ''schamel'', which meant a bench, as for displaying meat for sale.〔(yourdictionary.com: Shambles ) Retrieved on 2008-03-06〕 A shambles would have had blood, pieces of meat and offal running down the gutter,〔Worthington (2005), p. 9〕 and although the original meaning of the word fell into disuse, it survived as a word meaning a scene of disorder. There are also streets known as "The Shambles" in other towns in the United Kingdom, such as York, Stroud, Worcester, Whitby, Sevenoaks, Chesterfield and Armagh.
