St George's House, Peter Street, Manchester
A big block of brown and buff Burmantofts terracotta. It resembles a confection with a rich chocolate base. The Kahn system for construction was used - underneath is reinforced concrete, so there the resemblance ends. There are irregular projections and recessions to the main front. Built 1907-11 by Woodhouse, Corbett & Dean. Grade II listed.
It was built as a YMCA, complete with gymnasium, running track, and top-floor swimming pool, all of which were sadly obliterated on conversion to offices in the 1990s.

Welcome to Manchester - Access Restricted
Security turnstiles and barrier erected across the Mount Street approach to Image], where the Conservative Party conference was being held. The "Welcome to Manchester" banner seems a little incongruous, most visitors to the city receive a friendlier welcome!.
