Oxford Street, Manchester
A 1960's office block awaiting re-development. Might have a long wait given the state of the property market in 2010. This is at its prestigious end at its junction with St Peter's Square.

Former Odeon Cinema, Oxford Street
Built in 1930 and originally containing 2,920 seats, the Paramount Theatre, as it was then called, was the largest of Manchester’s picture palaces to survive as a cinema. In November 1939 the Paramount circuit was obtained by Oscar Deutsch’s chain of Odeon Theatres Ltd. and it was re-named Odeon in April 1940. It was twinned in 1973, triplexed in 1979 with a further four screens created in 1992.
The cinema was closed in September 2004 due to competition from the AMC Great Northern 16, which had opened nearby in December 2001. In autumn of 2010, plans were approved by Manchester City Council to demolish the former Paramount/Odeon and redevelop the site.

WNBR Manchester 2021
The World Naked Bike Ride in Manchester didn't take place in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic restrictions. The 2021 ride was put back from its usual June date until Friday 13th August. For whatever reason far fewer riders (about a third) turned out.
