Highland House, Victoria Bridge Street, Salford
That was its given name when it was built for the Inland Revenue, 1966, by Leach, Rhodes & Walker. Now it is sometimes known as North Tower. Pevsner says the "funnel-like windows give it a bit of character" (Image]). Wikipedia states that it "was built using the (then) innovative technique of using a continuously climbing shutter to cast a central core; pre-fabricated cladding was then lifted into place using a tower crane. This technique led to rapid construction, avoided the need for scaffolding, and allowed the lower floors to be occupied while building continued higher up. The combination was very cost-effective, however was not flawless: on a windy night the windows of the building blew off, ending up in Salford Bus Station."
It was reclad and converted, c2000, to apartments and a Premier Inn hotel, the latter's corporate colour now gracing the service tower.
The bridge over the River Irwell now carries the road to nothing more than a large car park (right).

Premier Inn, Manchester city centre
Amongst the many shiny new skyscrapers rising up around Manchester, the Premier Inn represents a different age of architecture with its 1970s stylings offering a pleasing, if brutal, visual style.
