Unusually for a post-war office block, top and bottom are clad in glazed cream tiles which are continued up the facade in narrow strips, between which are windows divided by bands of dark-grey or black brick. By Leach, Rhodes & Walker, 1975. Information from http://www.manchester2002-uk.com.

46 Fountain Street, Manchester
The best building on the street, according to Pevsner. Built as Overseers' and Churchwardens' offices in 1852 by Thomas Worthington, who also added the top two floors in 1858. The windows vary from flat-arched to pedimented to arcaded and, at the top, oeil-de-boeuf. Grade II* listed.
It is now offices.

38-42 Mosley Street, Manchester
"The last great work", of Edward Walters, in which "his assurance shines through", wrote Pevsner. A distinguished palazzo with rusticated ground-floor pilasters, pedimented windows for the high piano nobile, and above an emphatic cornice, a balustraded parapet adorned with urns and moulded chimneys. Built in 1862 for the Manchester and Salford Bank. Grade II* listed.
It is still a bank. Adjoining it is a sympathetic extension of the 1880s, by Barker & Ellis, and on the far left a sliver of a second extension of 1975 (Image]).
Manchester's transport planners have paid scant regard to some of the city's great buildings in planning the tram system. The trams have been very successful, but its paraphernalia is often intrusive and it's a pity that more thought wasn't given to how to minimise its visual impact.

Another excellent warehouse by Clegg & Knowles, 1879. "A disciplined and satisfying composition in stone", thought Pevsner. It has a very ornate frieze underlining the decorative dormers and chimneys. Grade II listed.
