Atherton House, Talbot Road, Stretford
One of a cluster of substantial post-war office blocks in the Old Trafford area, perhaps part of a drive to attract business in the face of ailing industry. There is a local station, and the nearby A56 runs, in one direction, to what was the Stretford by-pass or M62 when it opened in 1960 (now the M60), and, in the other direction, to central Manchester.
This differs from the others in that they are hulking great brick slabs, while this is much less substantial, and the bands between the windows look to be clad in glazed white tiles.

This one is extraordinarily long, particularly in relation to its depth.
Its current occupants included several public bodies such as probation services and the local NHS trust.

97 Talbot Road, Manchester
Quite striking with its extreme horizontality and far-oversailing roofs, rather in the tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright. It is symmetrical with a butterfly-shaped plan.
Currently occupied by British Gas.

Former trackbed of the MSJ&A
Viewed from one of the Metrolink trams that now ply the route between Manchester and Altrincham, the catenary support frame here extends over a disused trackbed from when it was the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway with a 4-track section. The western pair of tracks was removed in the 1960s.
The building in the background is the British Gas offices
