Blackfriars House, Parsonage Gardens, Manchester
Another one of those Portland stone monsters so beloved of the Edwardians and builders between the wars. The bow is an unusual touch. This one is by Harry S. Fairhurst, 1925, for the Bleachers' Association.
The Bleachers were, I believe, cleaned out at some point and this building now offers office space to anyone willing to pay the rent.

National Vulcan, St Mary's Parsonage
This is the New Building of NV, the Engineering Insurance Group formed out of the National and Vulcan Boiler companies who had been competitors for much of the previous 100 years. The original National Boiler HQ stands next door, to the left, and was completed in 1906 by the same firm of architects who added the extension in the late 1960s. This accommodated the much increased staff levels and, on the top floor, housed the Executive Dining Room where a butler and several waitresses served daily lunches to Senior Management and VIP guests.
After NV was absorbed into the Royal & Sun Alliance, in the 1990s, both buildings were sold and developed as luxury apartments. (The penthouse apartment has recently been for sale at around £600,000.)
Anyone looking at the building today will see that the clean lines of the stainless steel frontage have been rather compromised by additions made by the developers, including an extra storey. Indeed, some might say that the overall effect is a disimprovement, aesthetically.

River Irwell from Blackfriars Bridge
The River Irwell, has always marked the invisible border between the Cities of Manchester and Salford. Here, we are looking downstream from Blackfriars Bridge past the modern apartment and office blocks now lining both banks of formerly dark and depressing area of Manchester (on the left) and Salford (on the right).
