View towards Piccadilly Plaza
“the complex was given a major transformation in the mid/ late 2000s”
The top photo was taken in 1997 and shows the view towards Piccadilly Plaza from Market Street/ Mosley Street. To provide background the whole Plaza complex was built between 1959 and 1965 and the photo shows, left to right, Piccadilly Hotel, Sunley Tower, and Bernard House.
The bottom photo, taken end of 2023, shows the considerable change that has taken place since this time.
Bernard House was demolished in 2001 and replaced with 2 New York Street. The rest of the complex was given a major transformation in the mid/ late 2000s by Bruntwood, including the renaming of Sunley Tower as City Tower.
Also visible in the background is 1 New York Street which replaced 45 Mosley Street in 2009.
