Manchester 20th Century Buildings Running along the whole length of Piccadilly Station Approach, Gateway House is one of the visitor's first views of the City of Manchester. It was carried out as part of a greater improvement and refurbishment of Piccadilly Station in the 1960s, and was actually completed in 1969.
