11 Piccadilly, Manchester
A flamboyant facade with giant pilasters and lots of carved details, fitting as it was built as a cinema in 1922. The architect was Percy Hothersall. Pevsner says it is clad in Portland stone but from the photo it looks more like faience.

Christmas at Piccadilly Gardens
Manchester Town Hall has featured a giant Santa Figure every Christmas since the mid-1980s (see https://ilovemanchester.com/father-christmas-manchester-pictures-decades/ I Love Mcr for photos and more information) . For 2019, however, he has been reincarnated and moved to Piccadilly Gardens where Manchester's new giant light-up Father Christmas figure, complete with twirly moustache and a giant gift-wrapped box for a plinth, was lit upon 25th November 2019.
The new Santa Claus figure, replaces “Zippy” (Image]), the popular Santa figure which had been an annual feature outside the Town Hall since 2007 and is now “enjoying his retirement” outside the Kellogg's factory in Trafford (https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/manchesters-famous-zippy-santa-found-17309735 Manchester Evening News).
The new Santa forms the centrepiece of a festive trail of light sculptures across the city centre, which have been made from biodegradable sugar cane and recycled aluminium and feature low-energy LED lights. The trail includes a number of spectacular light sculptures in Piccadilly Gardens itself including this multi-coloured archway.
