Refuge Building, Whitworth St

Plenty of Doulton terracotta on display at the entrance to the Refuge Building on Whitworth St, Manchester. This extension of the building along Whitworth Street was completed in 1932 by architect Stanley Birkett. It blends in superbly with the original building of 1891-95 and the first extension of 1910-12 which face onto Oxford Street. These days it is in multiple commercial uses.
