Former police and fire station, Goulden Street, Manchester
'Former' being the operative word. Either directly or indirectly, as a result of a fire in 2002 the site has largely been cleared. The channelled chimney (perhaps saved by the listing) looms over the local grid of small streets mostly comprised of empty plots of land which have been turned into modest (and cheap) car parks, and low-rise sheds. Originally built c1870 by the Borough Surveyor, J.G. Lynde. Grade II listed.

Victoria Square, Oldham Road, Manchester
Built by Spalding & Cross for the Manchester Corporation in 1897, replacing slums, the first such housing project and still public housing. Quadrangular with a courtyard and greenery inside. Pevsner picks out the good brickwork, and the decorative touches such as the gables and terracotta details. Grade II listed.
Sadly, despite the architects' best efforts, Pevsner reports that "the initiative did not do the slum dwellers any good since they could not afford the rents and had to move to squalid conditions elsewhere."
