City Hall, Bristol

City Hall (formerly the Council House) was built as the seat of government of the city of Bristol, England, opening in 1956. Designed in the 1930s, with construction delayed by the Second World War, it is in a restrained Neo-Georgian style, forming a wide curve along one side of College Green, opposite Bristol Cathedral and at the foot of Park Street in the city centre. It is designated a Grade II* listed building. Building The building was commissioned to replace the Old Council House. The foundation stone was laid in 1935, and it was structurally complete by 1939 when the Second World War stopped further work. Although completed in 1952, the building was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 17 April 1956. The council published a commemorative booklet about the building at the same time. It was designed by Vincent Harris in a Neo-Georgian style, with a concrete frame clad with very wide, thin bricks, with Portland stone dressings and a steep leaded hipped roof. The end pavilions are topped by gilded unicorns. The ceremonial entrance overlooks the moat and leads into the reception hall which is lined with local Doulting stone and paved with black and white Italian marble. It also features a blue and gold wall clock, encircled by the signs of the zodiac and equipped with its own wind indicator. The Conference Hall is the largest room in the building. The names of all Mayors and Lord Mayors of Bristol since 1216 are cut into the stone walls. The walls of the Lord Mayor's Reception Room are panelled in English walnut and there is a colourful frieze displaying the heraldry of the Bristol trade guilds, and, in gold leaf, the names of famous Bristolians. The building was originally known as the Council House, but was renamed City Hall by George Ferguson, CBE, the Mayor of Bristol, on his first day in office on 19 November 2012. Features The ceiling of the council chamber was designed by John Armstrong (1893–1973) and depicts buildings in Bristol at the edge and the centre details sailing ships from different periods of Bristol history. The four corners show the allegorical figures of Enterprise, Wisdom, Industry and Navigation. The ceiling in the Conference Room is by Sir Walter Thomas Monnington (1902–1976) on the theme of molecular and atomic fusion. In 2005 a bust of Tony Benn, the famous Labour Party politician and the Member of Parliament for the former Bristol South East constituency from 1950 to 1960, and again from 1963 to 1983, was unveiled by Benn himself in the building's foyer. Environmental aspects Refurbishment of the electrical and heating systems have incorporated the use of rainwater recycling for flushing toilets and an air-conditioning system that will discharge excess heat into the surrounding water filled moat rather than expelling it into the atmosphere. In popular culture One of the building's gilded unicorns appears in the opening credits of the first and fifth series of the television series Skins. One of the unicorns also features in a hologram on the latest edition of the £B10 banknote of the Bristol Pound. See also Grade II* listed buildings in Bristol References
City Hospital, Birmingham

City Hospital (formerly Dudley Road Hospital, and still commonly referred to as such) was a major hospital located in Birmingham, England, operated by the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust. It provided an extensive range of general and specialist hospital services. It is located in the Winson Green area of the west of the city. It was replaced by the delayed Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, with the Treatment Centre and separate eye hospital, the Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre, remaining on the Dudley Road campus, the rest of which will be redeveloped for housing. History The hospital was first built in 1889 as an extension to the Birmingham Union Workhouse (whose entrance building, though derelict, survived until September 2017). It originally comprised a single corridor stretching for a quarter of a mile with nine Nightingale ward blocks radiating from it along its length. The original design was by an architect called W. H. Ward and was designed around a configuration recommended by Florence Nightingale. The first matron was Anne Campbell Gibson, still commemorated with the Ann Gibson meeting rooms in the City Hospital. It was originally known as the Birmingham Union Infirmary, later Dudley Road Infirmary, before becoming Dudley Road Hospital. One of its notable surgeons, Hamilton Bailey, took the photos for the first edition of his famous textbook while at Dudley Road. The Birmingham Treatment Centre opened on the City Hospital site in November 2005. This diagnosis and treatment centre replaces the existing Outpatient Department. The hospital's last inpatients were transferred to Midland Metropolitan University Hospital on 11 November 2024, the same day the hospital's accident and emergency unit was closed. In January 2026, Homes England signed a deal with housebuilder Vistry to demolish most of the former hospital buildings and construct 698 new homes; the historic infirmary building will be converted into 52 one- and two-bedroom flats. Construction will start in late 2026, with the first homes due for completion in early 2027. Notable staff Anne Campbell Gibson (1849–1926) matron of the Birmingham Union Infirmary from 1888 to 1912 and notable for her contributions to workhouse nursing and pioneering the establishment of infirmaries separate from workhouses and staffed with trained nurses. Marion Caroline Thomas RRC (1877– ), Matron from 1912 until 1925. Thomas trained at The London Hospital under Eva Luckes between 1900 and 1902. After her training she was employed as a Holiday Sister and Matron's Ward Assistant, before becoming matron of the Rutson Hospital in 1910. During the First World War she was also appointed Territorial Force Nursing Service Matron in charge of the military hospital based at the workhouse infirmary: 1st Southern General Hospital, Birmingham, between April 1915 and 1919. Thomas resigned because of ill health in 1925. See also List of hospitals in England References
City House

Platform, formerly known as City House and British Railways House, is a building over Leeds railway station that was built by Taylor Woodrow in 1962. The buildings were, like many other railway buildings in the UK, designed by the later-derided architect John Poulson who also designed the nearby Leeds International Pool. Upon its construction it was famously lambasted by the poet John Betjeman, who said that the building blocked all the light out of City Square and was only a testament to money, having no architectural merit. He made similar criticism in 1968. The building was bought by a property company, Kenmore, in 2006 with a view to regenerating what it described as a "tired and dilapidated" building. Kenmore received planning permission in 2008 to extend the building at the back (on the south side) and re-clad it in glazed curtain walling. The scheme was due to be completed in 2009. However Kenmore went into liquidation in 2009 before the scheme had started. A December 2011 photo shows little change from the 2008 image (left). In 2010 the building was bought by office property company Bruntwood which plans to redevelop it. Planning permission for the refurbishment was granted by Leeds City Council on 13 October 2011. Bruntwood's brochure for the redevelopment claims that: "our aim is to transform this neglected property into a new high-profile business destination, creating office space to suit all sizes and types of organisation. The exterior of the building will be given a striking new look with contemporary curtain wall glazing. On the inside, the offices will be completely refurbished with the upper floors also boasting unrivalled panoramic views across the city". Work commenced in October 2015, with the refurbishment completed in 2017. It was renamed Platform. References External links City House at SkyscraperPage.com
Minshull Street Crown Court

Minshull Street Crown Court is a complex of court buildings on Minshull Street in Manchester, England. The court was designated a Grade II* listed building on 3 October 1974. It is one of two Crown Courts in Manchester, the other being Manchester Crown Court. History The foundation stone for the building was laid by the mayor on 10 July 1868. The building was designed by the architect Thomas Worthington and was completed in December 1871. The building is in Worthington's trademark Gothic Revival style, with a massive corner tower and a chimney stack styled as a campanile. The courts are constructed in red brick with sandstone dressings and steeply pitched slate roofs. There is a profusion of animal carving by Earp and Hobbs. Worthington drew both on his rejected designs for Manchester Town Hall, and on his earlier plans for Ellen Wilkinson High School, although the central tower he used there is placed asymmetrically at the Police Courts, due to the constraints of the site. The interior court rooms "have been preserved with relatively few alterations." Following the completion of new Courts of Justice in Crown Square in May 1961, the Lord Chancellor's Department decided to close the Minshull Street building in 1989, but as the volume of cases increased in the early 1990s, the department decided to re-open the Minshull Street building again to support the Courts of Justice in Crown Square. Between 1993 and 1996, the Minshull Street buildings were extensively modernised. The original courtyard was glazed over and an extension was added to the Aytoun Street side of the courts. The architect for these works was James Stevenson of the Hurd Rolland Partnership. Internally, the modernised complex at Minshull Street was laid out to accommodate 12 courts. Notable cases include the conviction of the gambler, Ming Jiang, in February 2023, for the murder of his gambling companion, Yang Liu, whose headless body was found on a country lane.

City Tower, Manchester

City Tower (formerly Sunley House) is a 30-storey high-rise office building situated in the Piccadilly Gardens area of Manchester city centre, England. As of June 2026, it is the 25th-tallest building in Greater Manchester, with a roof height of 107 metres (351 ft). It is the second-tallest office building in Manchester after the CIS Tower (118 m (387 ft)), and the third-tallest outside London after CIS Tower and 103 Colmore Row in Birmingham (108 m (354 ft)). History City Tower was completed in 1965, one of three buildings forming the Piccadilly Plaza complex which was designed by Covell, Matthews & Partners and developed by Bernard Sunley & Sons between 1959 and 1965. The Piccadilly Plaza was remodelled by Leslie Jones Architects in 2001–02. City Tower stands at right angles to Piccadilly and the north-facing wall is covered with designs based on circuit boards. During the remodelling of the building to the west of City Tower, Eagle Star House was replaced by a building whose roofs are a pale echo of the swooping roofs of the original. The tower has retail and leisure units on the ground floor and is Manchester's main radio transmitting station, which is located on the roof. The developer Bruntwood sold City Tower to the asset management company Schroders for £132 million in 2014, but kept their headquarters in the building. Description The tower has entrances on York Street (renamed New York Street in 2008) and Piccadilly Gardens (formerly Parker Street). A refurbishment programme was drawn up in the late 1990s, but this was never realised until Bruntwood purchased Piccadilly Plaza for £65 million in 2004. A new central ground floor entrance was subsequently installed. The next phase involved repainting and fitting an atrium to the sides of the tower. An advertising screen was erected showing video clips to passers-by in the gardens. The tower is one of Manchester's main broadcast transmission sites, hosting the antennae of local radio stations Radio X, Radio X 90s and Capital on FM and digital radio multiplexes Digital One, BBC and CE Manchester. Permission to broadcast the smallscale superlocal DAB multiplex for Manchester from the City Tower transmitter, to boost its reception in and around the city centre, was granted by Ofcom in June 2025. The penthouse on floor 28 differs from the other floors as it originally had a walkway around the perimeter. When Bruntwood acquired City Tower, they removed the walkway and installed wider windows. The redesign included an overhang with floor to ceiling windows. Although City Tower is not the tallest building in the city, the 28th floor is the highest commercial office space in Manchester. This floor is now split in two halves, with one half, the Skylounge, open-access for City Tower residents.

City of London Club

The City of London Club was established in 1832 and is the oldest of the gentlemen's clubs based in the City of London. Its Italian Palladian-style building was designed by English architect Philip Hardwick. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, was its royal patron. To be eligible for membership, applicants traditionally had to be a partner or a director of their firm. The Club has occupied the same building at 19 Old Broad Street, near the NatWest Tower (now officially Tower 42) and Liverpool Street station, since its foundation, although it initially occupied it on a leasehold basis, with freehold being acquired in 1889. It lies in the ward of Cornhill. An attempt in 1970 by the Club to sell their building for office space (and move to newer premises) was blocked when planning permission was refused. Famous members have included Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, and Robert Peel.
