The Mitre and The Old Wellington, Manchester City Centre

3 October 2019 · Manchester

Three architectural eras compressed into one upward frame. The half-timbered gable of The Mitre anchors the composition against a flat overcast sky, while a Victorian stone dome rises behind it and the Arndale Tower cuts the skyline above. Manchester city centre carries this kind of layering quietly — Tudor timber framing standing a few metres from mid-century concrete, neither conceding to the other.
