Police launch investigation after iconic Manchester building covered in red paint
09.10.2023 - 12:03 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Vandals have attacked one of Manchester's most iconic landmarks. Red paint has been splashed over the front of the Grade II listed Express Building on Great Ancoats Street.
Greater Manchester Police said they were alerted to the damage at 7.40am today and are investigating. Police said their investigation was "at an early stage" and as yet there is no indication as to who was behind the vandalism and why.
Formerly the home of the Daily Express newspaper, the building was a key part of "the other Fleet Street' which once existed in the city. It opened in 1939 and its curves, black glass, and streamlined Art-Deco styling caused a stir. It was designed by engineer, Sir Own Williams and similar versions were constructed for the paper in London and Glasgow.

The upper floors were occupied by reporters and other editorial staff and the basement by printing presses. It was nicknamed "the crystal palace" and was given listed status in 1974.
For 50 years, it was a bustling newspaper operation before the newsrooms shut in 1989 and then the presses in 1992. The building exchanged several times and for many years was empty.
In 2018 real estate consultants OBI Property was given consent for a multi-million pound refurbishment of the 81,000 sq ft building. The six-storey building has provided space for businesses from a wide range of sectors, including those in the creative, digital and tech scene.
Inside it has a cafe, changing facilties, and showers. It retains some of it newspaper history too.
