Gateway House, Manchester Piccadilly

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 20 March 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This is another photo taken in the Piccadilly area of Manchester. I've often admired the elegant curves of this 1960s office building which is next to Piccadilly railway station.

Many poorly designed buildings were erected in the UK in 1960s but I think that this one, designed by Richard Seifert & Partners, has a grandeur and beauty that is timeless.

Thousands of commuters walk past this building every day....I wonder how many of them take a second to look up.
