Simple thread, whether old or new, used or abandoned post your favourite building in the city or town you currently reside in, near or share a postcode for.

Mine is the Old Post Office in Leeds, City Square:

Anyone agree for Leeds?

General consensus here would be Canterbury Cathedral:

I'm biased as I'm part of the University. It's a tough one and a real toss-up between some of the newer buildings such as Urbis and the very old ones such as the Cathedral, however I think I like the John Rylands Library the most.

Built in the late 1880s by a wife to remember her husband, it is a remarkable example of Victorian neo-gothic architecture. Recently been renovated, it is a fully functioning library nestled in amongst some of Manchester's most modern architecture.

Haven't go a picture but my favorite building in Milton Keynes (where I work) is the Redbull Technology Center (where they make the F1 cars) Its all blue and has the Redbull logo on it.

Looks good.

Not a building as such.
Clifton Suspension Bridge

RandomTom · 20 Jul 2009 at 12:57

The Brighton Pavilion looks great, never seen that before.

And to the prague posters - stop showing us up

Hmm.....when looking at some of those Liverpool really has either pittance or just uncomparable buildings. We have e.g. the docks or the Liver building but they're a bit meh'ish. I'm going for St. George's Hall :

Cambofrog · 20 Jul 2009 at 13:04

Floodlit City Hall, Bradford

Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth.

I personally think that building looks way out of place in Brighton. I like the area around the new library more. Actually, i like the building Moshi Moshi more
