The office building No 1 Piccadilly Gardens and
the concrete pavilion next to it have transformed this part of
Manchester, in my opinion for the worse. Many think these structures
should never have been built. They occupy positions number 1 and 2 on
my personal demolition X-list, not for bad design but inappropriate
siting. I predict that like the Hulme Crescents, the Magistrates
Courts and the Salford University tower, they will be gone within three
decades. Keep visiting Eyewitness in Manchester to find out if
I'm right.
