The A34 out of Manchester from the corner of Whitworth Street West. On the left is the grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1271429 former Refuge Assurance Building built by Alfred Waterhouse in 1891. The insurance company moved out in 1987 and the building lay empty until 1996 when it was converted into the Palace Hotel until being rebranded in 2016 as Principal Manchester. https://www.phcompany.com/principal/manchester-hotel/ The bridge just beyond carries the railway line from Piccadilly to Oxford Road Station. This is the point where Oxford Street becomes Oxford Road.
