Castle pretender


A new block of student accommodation is making a welcome addition to the Manchester skyline, although I doubt it can be as ornate as the brown Refuge Assurance building. And despite its name of Student Castle, I think the Refuge (now the Palace Hotel) and the white Excalibur Buildings will always be more castle-like.
