This brown brick and glass office block used to sits beside New Bailey Street just beyond the Albert Bridge in Salford.  Among the occupants of the building were a number of legal sets with business in the nearby Crown and Magistrates courts across the river. 

As you can see, there is a sign above the entrance said "City Wharf" but maps of the location identify it as Washington House. 

In April of 2012 McAleer and Rushe were granted planning permission to replace City Wharf with, "...a mixed use development of offices and a hotel at the heart of the emerging Salford Central Commercial District, New Bailey Street.  The grade A office accommodation at City Wharf provides 111,200 sq ft over twelve floors with floor plates between 6,000 – 10000 sq ft.  The hotel will provide 271 bedrooms to 3 or 4 star standard. In April of 2015 Washington House was in being demolished to make way for this development. ( The image below is shown here with the permission of Nikki Taylor-Wylde)

This location was once an extensive railway goods yard belonging to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.  The site of the building is indicated by the red rectangle on the aerial photograph below, dated 1953.

Before that the land, between New Bailey Street and Irwell Street and between the Irwell and the railway viaducts, was home to the New Bailey Prison.  It was built in 1787 and operated until Strangeways Prison was built to replace it.  The New Bailey Prison closed in 1868.
