Looking Eastwards, from the Beetham Tower (Hilton Hotel Image]), towards Manchester city centre. The road is Great Bridgewater Street, passing between the "Jurys Inn" hotel and the back of the Bridgewater Hall. The large tower block under construction is called "Student Castle" http://www.studentcastle.co.uk/word.php?pid=7&year=2010. When completed, the 33-storey tower on Great Marlborough Street will be among the city’s tallest buildings, measuring 109 metres. To the left of that is the tower of the former Refuge Assurance building, now the Palace Hotel on Oxford Street (Image]). The Pennine hills can be made out in the distance.
