Classical duos & trios@Manchester Town Hall, Manchester, Greater Manchester
"Completed in 1887, this most impressive neo-Gothic building cost a million pounds and is acknowledged as a masterpiece in its own right. It rises as a Victorian edifice - a monument to the civic pride of the city fathers, reaching 286 feet above Albert Square below. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, a leading contemporary architect, it was fitted masterfully onto an awkward triangular space - although not unanimously liked as the best looking design, it proved the most practical of the 136 other designs entered. Manchester had achieved city status in 1853, and was keen to show off its civic dignity. Inside it is lavishly and richly decorated, with mosaic floors bearing the "bees", symbols of Manchester's industry, and has wall murals by Ford Madox Brown. Manchester Town Hall complex has two buildings - the original Town Hall building (sometimes called the old Town Hall) and the Town Hall extension. The complex is bounded by Albert Square to the front, Princess Street to the left, Peter Street to the right and St Peter's Square to the rear. Lloyd Street separates the older Town Hall building from the newer Town Hall extension."
