If you Google manchester uni architecture portfolio blogspot, you will be able to see examples of portfolios submitted by undergraduate applicants.

Plymouth uni has some portfolio examples on its website:

Also, take a look at the following thread where there is a lot of good advice on developing a portfolio:

Try to show a range of skills not just drawings. Also, different unis request different things to be included in portfolios so be prepared to adapt it with each application.
