Description: | Manchester's Town Hall is one of the finest buildings in the country and it was chosen as the inspiration for this piece of music. It was built in the neo-Gothic style in 1887 and is 286 feet high and was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, a leading architect of the time. Manchester had received 'city' status in 1853 and the Town Hall was a sign of it's success. This illustration is very detailed, and great care has been taken, even down to the inclusion of the people outside the town hall. A little girl carrying a basket can be seen in the foreground. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Hime & Addison | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Leisure And The Arts Music Architecture Sheet Music | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Young, William | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
