North Tower, Residential high-rise building in Salford, England
North Tower rises 80 meters into the sky with 23 floors, containing 96 apartments in its upper section and a Premier Inn hotel in the lower levels.
The structure, completed in 1966, employed an advanced construction method using a climbing shutter for its central core and prefabricated cladding installed by tower crane.
The building reflects the 1960s architectural movement toward vertical residential developments in response to urban population growth and industrial changes in Northern England.
The location near Manchester Cathedral and the River Irwell provides residents direct access to both Salford and Manchester city centers through nearby transportation connections.
During construction, the innovative building technique allowed lower floors to be occupied while work continued above, marking an early example of efficient high-rise development methods.
