A slab-and-podium office block built in 1964 to the designs of Gunton & Gunton. Like a lot of Manchester's 1960s towers it has recently been refurbished, in this case reclad in 2003. Such work always seem to entail the loss of simple clean lines and the addition of fussy details, and while this is no exception, it's not a bad job.
