Manchester’s Changing Skyline

Spot on mate.

Hopefully it will all come togther over the next few years? The Rylands building, 20-36 High Street, and Piccadilly Gardens.

Sadly, the arse end of the Arndale Centre and the Arndale Centre car park will always blight High Street.

On Piccadilly Gardens. Along with the overdue redevelopment and refurbishment, the name should be changed to Piccadilly Square. It's no longer a garden, and a name change from the it's past and it's
bad reputation is needed. A new Piccadilly Square is the way forward.

20- 36 High Street still a goer? That and the Rylands. building is the best thing to happen for this area in a very long time.

Can't feasibly allow that utter shit tip of the Arndale corner and Car Park be allowed to fester. Also, trying to cross high street is an absolutely basket case. of urban development.

The last meaningful bit of info posted about the proposal was in June.

Since then, nothing.

If you want a really good panorama of Manchester, two very good places are Lyme Park - walk up the path to 'the Cage'. And The White House pub, Blackstone Edge near Littleborough. Of course, in both cases, a clear day helps. But Manchester looks amazing from up there.
 
The video is dated, but the pictures are from yesterday. The last 2 pictures are taken from the top floor of the Circle Square car park

That High St building is a real eyesore.

While still not brilliant, it's certainly better. I find a lot of the proposed buildings that are being shown on here (granted, they're artists' impressions) are not particularly pretty to look at. There was a video posted on the forum a while back, of some guy doing a tour of the Refuge building (fuck Kimpton); now THAT is a building. And yes; I realise that the cost of constructing such a building, on the scale of some of the other ones going up, would be prohibitive. I guess I'm looking at it through an FOC's eyes. Give me buildings like Chetham's or the Town Hall any time.
