Northcliffe House on Deansgate was the northern offices of the Daily Mail until the 1980s. It was built in 1931 in American-style art deco though I haven't been able to find out who the architect was.  The striking tower reminded me of a rocket as a child, and stood as a reminder of Manchester's former pre-eminence in newspaper production.  Today, a striking new building stands on the site, occupied by the Royal Bank of Scotland. Which building is more striking?
