Former Hollings College, Old Hall Lane, Manchester
A fabulous piece of 1960s pop architecture. The concrete parabolic arches have led to it being nicknamed the 'toast rack'. (The adjacent circular block is the 'fried egg'.) The floors reduce in height as one heads upwards. By the City Architect, L.C. Howitt, 1957-60. It may be pop, but the listing reckons that it's a "distinctive and memorable building which demonstrates this architect's love of structural gymnastics in a dramatic way. It epitomises the popular values of the Festival of Britain, as disseminated into regional architecture." Grade II listed.
The buildings are now part of Manchester Metropolitan University, providing courses in food, clothing, and hospitality.
