Architecture in Manchester
A spectacular variety of architectural styles makes Manchester's skyline a sight to behold. Modern, contemporary, Georgian, Roman and Gothic – Manchester has it all.

The city of Manchester is a product of the Industrial Revolution and known for its original modern approach to architecture. Manchester is known for its warehouses, cotton mills, viaducts and canals and it is clear that Manchester was a city that produced and traded goods on a large scale.

Historically, Manchester was the birthplace of both the first true canal and the first railway station, used to transport goods during the Industrial Revolution. Manchester Liverpool Road Station helped the city prosper in the Victorian era, and the architecture throughout the city is still evidence of this today.

Impressive sights include the John Rylands Library, the neo-Gothic Town Hall and Manchester Cathedral. Following the IRA bombing in 1996, a huge redevelopment project took place across the city, bringing with it a whole range of impressive and modern building work.

In 2006, Beetham Tower in Deansgate was completed and is still the tallest building in the United Kingdom outside of London (source: visitmanchester.com/ideas-and-inspiration/architecture).
