Don't mean to hijack the thread but a scrapped game of mine had planned to use an area (with its building) owned by my local council. I also had plans to show off a recreation of my primary school in video game form. Should I resurrect the project, of course I am going to ask someone who I know from the school regarding permissions but my local council has a complex contact system so I'm not sure who to ask in that department? And I did not know that architecture can be copyrighted. Good thing I read this thread before I released a game based on my childhood, eh?

As Servant mentioned, exterior of building (at least original 13th century one) is public domain, I just wondered if it would be possible to use name of Manchester Cathedral with its original exterior but with completely different interior.
