Mancunians have their say after the 'Toast Rack' is named one of the ugliest buildings in the UK

Mancunians have had their say after the Hollings Campus, more commonly known as the 'Toast Rack' building, was named as one of the ugliest buildings in the UK.

The 'iconic' 1960s modernist building in Fallowfield ranked ninth in a list of eyesores in a poll, alongside Liverpool's Pier Head ferry terminal, Scottish Parliament, Central Church in Torquay and London's Bafron Tower.

The building was designed by architect Leonard Cecil Howitt and given the nickname because of its distinctive arches that have been part of the south Manchester skyline for decades. It was originally built for the Domestic Trades College before becoming part of Manchester Polytechnic, now Manchester Metropolitan University.
