The multi-use Beetham Tower, at 168 m (551 feet), is the tallest skyscraper in Manchester, and eleventh in the UK, Completed in 2006, it also one of the thinnest skyscrapers in the world. The white painted Oxnoble Public House, at 71 Liverpool Road (right of shot), was established in 1804 and derives its name from a Georgian variety of potato. It advertises good food, real ale, hotel accommodation, and a traditional Sunday lunch. Left of shot rises the Lower Campsfield Indoor Market Building, dating to 1876, and now the Air and Space Hall of the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI). The bicycles in the foreground are standing by the MOSI Power Hall. The red bricks building on the right is the former St Matthew's Sunday School. St Matthew's Church (built in 1825) occupied a site between the later Lower and Upper Campfield Markets, on Liverpool Road. St Matthew's Church was demolished in 1951, but the Grade 2 Listed Sunday School, now offices known as Gunn House, survives.
