16-17 Albert Square, Manchester
On the left, Carlton House, by Clegg & Knowles, 1872, a bit of a mixture of styles but more Gothic than anything else, and "more ornate than their contemporary warehouses". The dominant accents are the two oriels continued above the cornice as gables. Grade II listed.
Clegg & Knowles were also responsible for its contemporaneous neighbour, Albert Chambers, 1873, more strictly Venetian Gothic. It has an arcade of windows, trefoil-headed windows above, a prominent frieze and embattled skyline. Grade II listed.

20-21 Albert Square, Manchester
Aka St Andrews Chambers. Built by G.T. Redmayne for the Scottish Widows Fund Life Assurance Society, 1872. Pevsner comments that Redmayne's pupilship in Alfred Waterhouse's office manifests itself in his use of tourelles and tall traceried windows. These vertical accents accentuate the sense of height. Grade II listed.

Open corner of Albert Square
With long-term restoration work to Manchester Town Hall ongoing, most of Albert Square is a building site and cordoned off. One corner has been opened up, allowing easy access to Lloyd Street and the Slug and Lettuce. The circular motif in the foreground indicates where a tree will be planted in the future. On the right, the Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1197823 statue of William Gladstone by W Theed Junior, erected 1878, is barricaded off. Next to it is a Christmas archway which is likely to be removed shortly.
