  • A wide view of Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square bathed in late afternoon orange light. The statue of an unknown public figure stands prominently with his arm raised towards this Victorian-era, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. The building functions as the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments but here, the 5 Olympic rings hang from the building's facade, a gesture for when the city was the bidding candidate for the 1996 and 2000 Olympics. Completed by architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1877, the building features imposing murals by the artist Ford Madox Brown depicting important events in the history of the city. The Town Hall was rated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building in 1952 and the Town Hall Extension completed in 1938, was Grade II* listed in 1974.
