About Manchester Civic & Heritage Quarter
England
This compact area brings together some of Manchester’s most impressive historic architecture, including Manchester Town Hall and Albert Square, the elegant Midland Hotel, the former Royal Exchange, and the extraordinary John Rylands Library. The buildings tell the story of Manchester’s transformation from industrial powerhouse to one of Britain’s great Victorian cities. The Gothic Revival John Rylands Library is particularly impressive, with a dramatic historic reading room and collections of rare books and manuscripts; the library is open to the public. A guided architectural or heritage walking tour is an excellent way to connect the buildings with the people, industries and wealth that shaped the city.
