Prudential
Assurance
Building
 It is difficult to
imagine that the Prudential Assurance Building was
designed by the same architect who was responsible for
the Gothic masterpiece of Manchester Townhall.
This rather "modern" looking building constructed of
brick and terracotta is in fact by Alfred Waterhouse in
1881. It features round-topped windows and supporting
columns. It was much changed when adapted into a
Barclay's Bank in 1975 and modified further to
accommodate shops at street level including the addition
of granite cladding.
