This is exactly the sort of building that comes to mind when I think of central Manchester: an imposing, primarily brick built edifice that appears to have been designed to let visitors know they are in an important city. Formerly the home of UMIST, it fronts onto Whitworth Street, close to its junction with Aytoun Street (in the right foreground).
