Seven lost Manchester buildings we wish had been treasured, not demolished

Manchester boasts some beautiful examples of architecture, spanning many styles and eras.

Notable examples range from the Neomodern Beetham Tower skyscraper to the Gothic beauty of Manchester Town Hall. A product of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester is known as the first modern, industrial city noted for its warehouses, viaducts, mills and canals.

Manchester also has a vast number buildings designed in the architectural styles of 19th and early 20th century, with variations on Gothic, Edwardian baroque, Art Deco and Neo-Classical styles. The last few years has also seen a renewed interest in skyscrapers being built in the city, with Beetham Tower serving as a prime example.
