This beautifully simplified drawing by North-West based artist Louise Potter shows one of the UK’s most unique buildings. Formally known as the Hollings Building, the Toast Rack is a Modernist building in Fallowfield, Manchester. Designed by Leonard Cecil Howitt, it was formerly a university campus which closed in 2013. The building is a recognisable landmark for many locals, and has recently been bought by developers as a part of Manchester's regeneration program.
