A three-storey building with blue and white panels above colourful graffiti-covered shopfronts, including Vinyl Revival and Hilton Aqua Emporium. The upper floors have many windows, and a small statue stands on the roof’s far right corner.

Former 1960/70’s office building in the heart of the Northern Quarter, if I may permit myself to slip into estate agentese.

View looking up at intersecting concrete and metal structures of a car park against a cloudy sky. The architecture features curved and angled lines, creating a geometric pattern. Vertical and horizontal elements add depth and modern, industrial character.

A beige multi-storey car park with horizontal metal railings on each level, dark and light window panels, and glass shopfronts on the ground floor. The sky is overcast, and the building appears vacant and functional.

A circular concrete car park is shown from a low angle, looking up towards the open sky. Multiple levels feature metal railings and fluorescent lights, creating a pattern of repeating geometric shapes and lines.

View looking upward from the centre of a circular, multi-level concrete car park. Spiral ramps and metal railings encircle an open skylight, revealing a cloudy sky above. Vertical support columns and geometric lines dominate the architectural structure.

Most (normal) people would have their betrothed as their iPhone wallpaper, or perhaps a beloved pet, but no, not me – I have the Manchester Arndale ramp on my lock screen 🥰

View of a glass greenhouse ceiling with a black metal frame. Sunlight shines through the glass panes, some of which are dirty. Green tropical plant leaves are visible in the lower right corner. Blue sky and clouds are seen through the roof.

Continuing my weakness for glasshouses.

People, in my photos. Actually groundbreaking.
