Manchester’s Changing Skyline

[Big Joe Corrigan]

I hope they haven't messed about with the frontage of the building.

I pass it every home match Jim, still looks original on the outside, hope it stays that way.

It's my type of building. I love those old buildings.

At Last!!! Something with a bit of shape to it. I know many have complained that the new builds are all glass rectangles and I agree. Is there a signature building in Manchester same as, for example Kuala Lumpur:-

That's weird; I've zoomed in as close as practical, but I can’t see the enamel mugs of tea anywhere. If the union rep on the job sees that, they're up shit creek without a paddle.

No, there isn’t. But I’m hoping that all the boxes are building up the mass that will eventually support a proper signature building on the skyline.

We missed a trick with the Tower of Light beside Manchester Central. It is visually stunning and would have been wonderful to have as the signature building of the Mcr skyline, but it’s only short really.



It should have been the biggest thing on the Manchester skyline, should have been made taller than Emley Moor Television Tower, which stands at 329m and is the tallest building in Britain.

Years ago, leaving Manchester on tne tram from G-Mex, as it was called then, on the way to Altrincham, the tallest building you could see outside the right hand window was the Kippax, a couple of miles away, standing tall above everything else.

You can't see more than a few hundred feet in that direction now.

This is so true. Manchester keeps pressing the ‘our kid’ nonsense but there’s absolutely nothing original about it whatsoever. Same as all the other cities in the uk.
