Bank House and Bank Chambers, Portland Street, Manchester
By Fitzroy Robinson & Partners, 1971, on the site of a warehouse destroyed during the Second World War. Quite distinctive designs with, I think, concrete, stone, granite, aluminium and bronzed windows all thrown into the melting pot.
Bank Chambers was built for the Bank of England and is reputed to be the most secure building in Manchester.

Faulkner House, Faulkner Street, Manchester
A tidy example of 1960s curtain walling, the facade a characteristically strong rectilinear grid.
It has recently been refurbished by ubiquitous local property developers, Bruntwood, and retail units added at street level.

Former Watts warehouse, Portland Street, Manchester
A gargantuan affair, almost 300 feet long. Pevsner remarks that the building "aptly encapsulates the spirit of self-confidence mixed with a touch of brashness". It is based on the Fondaco dei Turchi in Venice. Four prominences on the skyline, varying motifs to each floor, "culminating with wheel windows in the roof towers". Built by Travis & Mangnall, 1855-58. Grade II* listed.
Pevsner notes that "S. & J. Watts was the largest wholesale drapery business in Manchester and the owner James Watts typical of the city's new mercantile princes". It is now a hotel.
