York House, York Street, Manchester
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.

1960s/1970s block comprising shops at ground floor and offices above. Stone panels between the windows are bevelled, which makes for restless facades.

24-30 Mosley Street, Manchester
In some ways a typical Portland stone bank boasting rusticated ground floor, giant Ionic colonnades and corner turrets, but, particularly for its early date, the facades are plain, for example, there are no details around any of the windows. It was built for the Mercantile Bank of Lancashire, 1898, by J. Gibbons Sankey. Grade II listed.
Currently a hairdresser's at street level.
The picture is besmirched by tram paraphernalia.

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.
