  • Manchester Town Hall Manchester Town Hall
    Manchester Town Hall Manchester Town Hall It took two years to decide on a site for Manchester Town Hall. The site chosen was a controversial triangular plot which had a profound effect on the design of the new Town Hall. Architects were invited to send in their designs and 136 designs were submitted. These were narrowed down to ten favoured designs by eight architects. The chosen architects were asked to compete again and revise their existing drawings, which were judged on St Valentine’s Day, 1868. The winner was Alfred Waterhouse. Although the design was not unanimously liked as the best looking, it was the most practical and superior in terms of lighting, ventilation, access and other practical considerations. The formal opening ceremony took place on 13 September 1877. It has been deemed a monument to the civic pride of the city fathers, reaching 286 feet above Albert Square. The exterior of the Town Hall is now a Grade 1 listed building. Momentous On one side of the entrance hall is a statue of the famous chemist and philosopher John Dalton, and on the other side the great physicist James Joule (pictured here). Monumental The main entrance features a statue of Roman Governor Agricola, founder of Mamucium in 79 AD, with Henry III and Elizabeth I above him and St George at the apex of the main door’s gable. Soaring above them all is the clock tower, 286 feet high and housing 24 bells, including the 8-ton Great Hour Bell. Impressive To the right of the main entrance is the massive Sculpture Hall, 53 feet by 33 feet, with its distinctive groined ceiling and statues of some of the city’s famous sons: Hallé, Barbirolli, Cobden and Bright, among others.
