Manchester it was... and the red comes from some festive neon lights, turning the cram paintwork to an orangey-red.

SDQ,  you are about to be awarded the prize.

The official answer is the old Triangle Shopping Centre at the Corn Exchange in Manchester.

You are a wise man.... and The Corn Exchange is now a fantastic area of bars and restaurants, Indian, Thai, Brazilian, Italian, Vietnamese.... and many more.
Here is a picture from the balcony in the Brazilian Bar, with a glimpse of that glass ceiling, a bit hazy due to inebriation.  ZXZ Z**
Plus another, in better focus.

Interesting to see what they have done to the inside. I haven't been in since the shops closed.
Here is an article which tells the history of the building with some great old photos.

Has no one from the Three Towns been here for a night out then?
It's not really that far from the area.
Here's another clue.
It is only yards away from this structure.

It's the Lowry theatre in Salford, I went numerous times when I lived in the area.

A good try Cambrian but it's not correct.

It may have been in a sale last year.       $walesflag$

There is a boathouse very near this wreck if you wanted to attempt to repair it.       ;D             $walesflag$
