Description: | Due to the city's economic growth a new exchange was commissioned for Manchester in 1874. The Ship Canal increased commerce and up to 8,000 traders met here at times. The exchange has been hit by the slump in the cotton industry from the 1920s, and bomb damage during WWII and by terrorists in 1996. | Subjects: | Exchange Corinthian Column Dome Trade And Commerce | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Skingle, B | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
