Twentieth Century Society Condemns St Michael’s Manchester Buildings
A major development in Manchester city centre backed by well known footballers Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville has propelled the Reform synagogue from 1953 and the 1930s Bootle Street police station on to a list of buildings at risk, reports The Guardian.
The top 10 has been created by the C20 Society, which campaigns for 20th-century architecture.
Catherine Croft, the society?s director, said some of Britain?s most remarkable buildings were in danger of being lost as a result of development, dwindling budgets and short-termism which fuelled an ?out with the old, in with the new? mentality. The synagogue building has ?some of the earliest examples of figurative stained glass in a Jewish place of worship?, whilst the police station from 1937 is described as ?a distinguished neo-classical building?, state the C20 Society.
