Architecture and Planning Building, Bridgeford Street, Manchester
A large low block of grey concrete, ribbed in the oversailing top section. By the "building's then inhabitants, Professors N.L. Hanson and R.H. Kantorowich, with M.C. Schonegevel and G. Skacel, 1970". Pevsner calls it uninspiring, but for my sins I'm a sucker for concrete.
As usual one is being watched.

Glacial erratic at University of Manchester
This 20+ ton erratic of andesite from Borrowdale in the Lake District, was placed in the university's main quadrangle behind Manchester Museum, on Oxford Road, after being excavated 28 feet down at the junction of "Oxford Street and Ducie Street Manchester" (according to the nearby plaque).
It is not clear where this site was, because Ducie Street and Oxford Street are separated by about half a mile of city centre along a line that the Rochdale Canal roughly follows - perhaps it dug up during the canal excavations - the Rochdale Canal's main Manchester basin is by Ducie Street.
My reading of the recent review of the last glaciation to affect Northwest England suggests it would probably have been deposited between 25,000 and 19,000 years ago. You can find it here:

Purple Crocus Bee
This Little Bee located within the Manchester Museum was created by Art with a Heart in collaboration with Oldfield Brow School. Pupils participated in a drawing competition with designs based on purple crocuses donated by Rotary Club of Altrincham; part of the Purple4Polio campaign of EndPolioNow. The artwork from the eight finalists from Year 5 and 6 was selected as the basis for the design. A species of bee called the Purple Orchid was the inspiration for the Purple Crocus Bee.
