Inside Manchester’s history
One of my summer highlights was the chance to see inside an iconic Manchester building.
Manchester Central – now an exhibition and conference centre – started life in 1880 as a grand railway station until its closure in 1969.
The building, with its lofty arched roof and station clock, was empty for visitors to marvel at its scale and the prowess of Victorian engineering.
It’s part of a complex which has hosted everything from rock concerts to the Nightingale Hospital during the Covid-19 pandemic and is a Mancunian landmark.

Such a beautiful building. I once saw it almost empty when setting up for a tradeshow. It’s nice to see it has so much history and served so many purposes.

It really is a stunner. They make sure the space is clear before inviting Mancunians to come and have a look :)
