View from a pod of the Wheel of Manchester looking north towards the CIS tower with its solar panels. On the left is New Century Hall, built at the same time as the CIS, which opened in 1962. On the right is the apartment tower Skyline Central, completed around 2005.

At the bottom of the frame is the Printworks, an entertainment complex built behind the facade of former newspaper offices, once home to the Daily Chronicle and Daily Mirror.
