Manchester House, Bridge Street, Manchester
Built as Scottish Life House by Leach, Rhodes & Walker, 1966. Quoting from "Manchester - An Architectural History" (by John J. Parkinson-Bailey), http://manchesterhistory.net notes that the construction method was unusual: "the ... approach was first to erect the central core of steel columns and then cast the eight floor slabs individually on the ground, one on top of the other, each floor separated by a layer of resin to stop them sticking together - all rather like a large liquorice allsort. When all the floors had been cast, they were individually hoisted into position."
It was recently slated for demolition, but instead it was at the time of the photo being refurbished, a Waitrose supermarket having moved into the ground floor.
