This is a view looking up Cateaton Street and Cannon Street and leading to Church Street. The large greenish coloured building on the right is Longridge House, then the home of British Engine Insurance Ltd which was destroyed in the 1996 bombing. Selfridges building now occupies that site and Exchange Square links it to the building with the dome on the corner which you can see on the opposite side of Cateaton Street and which is the Corn Exchange building, latterly known as The Triangle. The building with the black and white upper storey at the bottom left on the corner of Cateaton Street and Victoria Street is still there.

(...) photograph took from the top of Highland House (now the Premier Inn's North Tower) on Victoria Bridge Street sometime in the early 1970s before many of the buildings shown were demolished to make way for the Arndale Centre. Most of the rest were subsequently demolished when the area was rebuilt following the IRA bomb explosion in Corporation Street in June 1996.
