Sedge Lynn, Barlow Moor Road, Manchester
Built as a Temperance billiard hall by Norman Evans in 1907. Pretty domed hexagonal porch. Grade II listed.
The Wetherspoon pub chain has taken on a lot of characterful buildings looking for a new use, including this one.

Chorlton-cum-Hardy, The Sedge Lynn
English Heritage-listed former billiard hall, excellently converted into Wetherspoons pub. Built 1906-10 by the Temperance Hall Billiard Company, whose members would no doubt be turning in their graves to see its present use. Barrel roof with metal trusses, stained glass windows. Cask beers on offer at my visit: Exmoor Beast, Greene King Abbot & IPA, Marston's Pedigree, Theakston's Old Peculiar, Wells Bombardier. For full description of its architectural features, see http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=461962&mode=adv

Library, Barlow Moor Road, Manchester
Built in 1914, this was the first of three libraries designed by the City Architect, Henry Price, and paid for out of the deep pockets of Andrew Carnegie. "Each [Chorlton, Didsbury and Withington] was built in a different style but in the same general plan of a wedge or fan shape". Grade II listed.

Graeme House, Barlow Moor Road, Manchester
A 1970s office block incorporating a shopping centre. By Cruickshank & Seward - not one of their most inspiring efforts and unusually free of white concrete.
A proposal to redevelop the site would see the whole thing being pulled down.
