Got me thinking, The apartments near The Palace almost look as though they were designed to mimic it in a modern style?

Are those blocks in Collyhurst empty?

What's the plan with them? Are they going to get a refurb like the ones next door?

Stunning - Perfect example of the more functional rear elevations of older buildings being as beautiful as the front. How old is this photo and do these still exist in this form?

There is only one of these old buildings left in that stretch of the river, and its just out of shot. There is an awful 1950/60s hotel in that spot unfortunately. The remaining (and still impressive) building fronts onto Parsonage gardens.
