Arndale Car Park – Manchester

Here we are again at the Arndale Car Park – because repetition is the sincerest form of flattery.

One of the twelve car parks on the Twelve Car Parks walk.

Designed by Wilson & Wormersley opened in 1979 as part of the Arndale Centre shopping complex.

Much of the city’s Victorian core was removed to make way for the shopping complex.

Me myself and I and others quite like it, but we would wouldn’t we?

Arndale Car Park – Manchester

Arndale Car Park – High St Nicholas Croft M4 1AZ

Designed by Wilson & Wormersley opened in 1979 as part of the Arndale Centre shopping complex.

Good location but the access to the shopping centre is dirty. Lifts dirty – discarded soiled underwear, urine, spit and rubbish in the lifts, car park also full of litter.

The most unnecessarily complicated ticketing system I have ever seen for a car park. Designed to fail so that the system can fine you. Beware, better avoided for overseas visitors.

The pedestrian in the car park presses on – encountering structural engineers along the way, who have given the concrete construction a clean bill of health.
