Anonymous Postbox (M2 130)
The cylindrical design of pillar boxes arrived in 1879. The early boxes had no royal cipher and are known as 'anonymous' boxes. This oversight was corrected from 1887 so this postbox on Fountain Street Image must date from that period.

The Athenaeum
The Athenaeum wine bar stands on the corner of Spring Gardens and York Street.
The former Parrs bank building, designed by Charles Heathcote in 1902, is a superb example of Edwardian baroque with some art nouveau detailing, particularly in the wrought ironwork. Built of red sandstone with an imposing corner entrance topped with a dome, the interior was probably one of Manchester's most opulent banking halls, featuring deep mahogany woodwork, green ceramic and marble walls and stained glass windows.
