Manchester Architecture #48

The former Department for Employment Building, Aytoun Street, Manchester (4 Images)    

The building has been derelict for a number of years and not too far off demolition from what I understand.

    I rather like it too. I have seen its replacement on the interweb somewhere, it is another tall generic glass building. I’ll see if I can find the image of the proposed building again.

    Apparently the replacement building is to be called the Albany Crown Tower.
