National House, Parsonage Gardens, Manchester
A mighty terracotta-clad edifice, symmetrical with towers and cupolas at each end. They're all the same width, but a nice floor-by-floor variation in the treatment of the windows. By Harry S. Fairhurst, 1905-09. Grade II listed.
Built as offices, but now flats.

Lost View, Salford
Extensive re-construction on the Salford side of the River Irwell means that you can no longer see the buildings lining the bank on the Manchester side, from the railway. In sight, from left to right, are Blackfriar's House, Alexander House, National Vulcan's New Building, National Buildings and Arkwright House - all facing away from the viewer, onto St Mary's Parsonage beyond. There is a faint glimpse of the spire of Manchester Town Hall above the rooftops.

Parsonage Gardens, Manchester
A small, tranquil oasis close to the heart of Manchester. The conservation area was designated in June 1985. Its boundaries are Blackfriars Street, Deansgate (a common boundary with the St Ann's Square conservation area), Bridge Street (a common boundary with the Deansgate/Peter Street conservation area) and St Mary's Parsonage. The River Irwell forms the western boundary of the area along the line of the administrative border of the City of Salford.

Summer in St Mary's Parsonage
The terracotta frontage of National Buildings can be seen in the background. (Now converted to luxury apartments having once been offices.) The National Boiler & General Insurance Company, established in 1864, relocated to these purpose-built offices in 1906. They replaced tenements which once lined the River Irwell, running at the back of the building. The first ever Radio Station in Manchester broadcast from a barge moored in the river at the back of National Buildings (1920s).
