St Wilfrid's Church, Hulme

Hulme Crescents was a large housing development in the Hulme district of Manchester, England. It was the largest public housing development in Europe, encompassing 3,284 deck-access homes and capacity for over 13,000 people, but was marred by serious construction and design errors. Demolition of the Crescents began in 1993, 21 years after it was constructed in 1972. The Crescents were described by the Architects' Journal as "Europe's worst housing stock... hideous system-built deck-access block which gave Hulme its unsavoury reputation." The Hulme Crescents had implications for new housing in Manchester and signalled the end of the Streets in the sky idea popular throughout the 1960s and 1970s in the United Kingdom. After demolition, Hulme was redeveloped in the 1990s with a mix of low-rise to medium-rise housing.

Deansgate Square, formerly known as Owen Street, is a skyscraper cluster on the southern edge of Manchester City Centre, consisting of four towers, the tallest of which is 201 metres (659 ft). The site is just south of Deansgate railway station and north of the Mancunian Way, bounded by Deansgate, Owen Street and the River Medlock. The towers sit at different angles to each other, with a slight bevel, or 'cut back', on each side of each building which ensures the towers catch the light at different times of day.Manchester City Council adopted a framework in the early 2000s, known as the Great Jackson Street Development Framework, which earmarked the site as an acceptable location for high-rise buildings. The framework was enacted to encourage building development, as the site had been vacant for many years and was perceived to be isolated as it was bounded by major arterial roads.In 2016, the scheme was revived with a planning application for a cluster of four skyscrapers – the tallest being the South Tower at 201 m (659 ft). The South Tower surpassed the 169 m (554 ft) Beetham Tower as the tallest building in Greater Manchester in November 2018. Construction on the tower complex officially began in July 2016, with developer Renaker beginning construction on the South Tower and West Tower, the latter being 141 m (463 ft) tall. In October 2017, construction commenced on the North and East Towers, which are 122 m (400 ft) and 158 m (518 ft) tall respectively. Overall completion of the development occurred in late 2020. As of February 2023, additional towers are under construction in the adjacent vicinity as part of the Great Jackson Street Development Framework, including the 152 m (499 ft) Elizabeth Tower which was completed in 2021.

River Street Tower (also known as the Downing Tower after its developer) is a high-rise residential tower in Manchester, England. The tower is situated immediately north of the Mancunian Way on land which was formerly occupied by a concrete car park frame from 2005 to 2018. A 125 m (410 ft) tower was originally approved in October 2012. However, the scheme never materialised and the land was sold to new owners. A revised scheme for the site was approved in 2017 for a 32 storey, 92 m (302 ft) high-rise tower, comprising 420 apartments targeted at the student accommodation market. The unfinished concrete frame was demolished in May 2018 and construction commenced on the tower in summer 2018. As of 2023, River Street Tower is the joint 19th-tallest building in Greater Manchester with 1 Spinningfields.

Quay Bar was a building situated next to the Bridgewater Canal basin in Castlefield, Manchester. It was designed by architects Stephenson Bell (now stephenson STUDIO) for their client Wolverhampton & Dudley Brewery (better known as Banks). Shortly after completion in 1998, the building won a number of awards, including an MSA Design Award, RIBA Award and the Manchester Civic Society Award. It was also shortlisted for the prestigious Stirling Prize.With competing bars and restaurants opening closer to the city centre, particularly the popular Deansgate Locks, Quay Bar faced difficulties in attracting the same crowds it achieved when it first opened. The bar closed in 2003. It was bought by Urban Splash who rebranded it as the rather short-lived Modo Clubroom, and was subsequently let out on an occasional basis to Vietnamese military themed bar operator Canteena.The building became vacant in 2005, subsequently falling into disrepair. During 2006-07 it became notorious for its use by drug addicts, suffering a number of arson attacks and prompting calls for its demolition.As of November 2007 the building has been demolished, due to its dilapidation and frequent vandalism.

The Boardwalk nightclub was located on Little Peter Street in Manchester, England. This medium-sized club and rehearsal studios, owned by David, Colin and Donald Sinclair was a popular live music venue in the late 1980s and early 1990s where bands such as Oasis and Northside made their live debuts. It was also one of Manchester's most prominent nightclubs. Along with other clubs like the Haçienda, and the International, the Boardwalk provided an important live venue for many local bands. The Man From Delmonte, the Charlatans, Happy Mondays, Female Brothers and James, who played the opening night in 1986, were amongst the many Manchester bands that appeared frequently at the Boardwalk before acquiring international recognition or disappearing into obscurity. The venue also saw a variety of other acts including Oasis, Hole, Sonic Youth, Chumbawamba, Jayne County, Verve, Bob Mould and Rage Against the Machine. The Membranes fronted by John Robb who wrote the best selling book on Manchester music 'The North Will Rise Again' were the first band to rehearse there. In later years, until the club closed in 1999, former Haçienda DJ Dave Haslam played the regular Yellow night at the Boardwalk. Haslam subsequently wrote a book about the Manchester music scene at the time, Manchester, England. Funkademia was started by DJ and promoter David Payne at The Boardwalk in 1995 and has since gone on to be Manchester's longest running club night, currently at the Mint Lounge. The nightclub site now has a blue plaque, featuring a smiley face beneath the description of The Boardwalk as a "Madchester Venue Nightclub and Rehearsal Rooms".
