Situated on Albert Square, across from Manchester’s iconic Town Hall and just a stone’s throw away from Deansgate and some of the city’s most famous attractions. The original Northern Powerhouse! From the roaring mills of the cottonopolis during the industrial revolution to birth of the punk movement in the UK, its history is as diverse as it is complex. The city’s transition into the vibrant, inclusive, and creative cultural centre we see today began in the empty warehouses when the mills fell silent. Ravers replaced cotton reels as the disused expanses of the former industrial sites filled with the sound of Motown: Northern Soul was born. New life swept onto the cobbled streets and canals as mills were converted into award winning housing complexes which paid homage to their industrial past and allowed new, diverse communities to flourish. Manchester’s political and cultural past are evident wherever you go: from the steps of the iconic Free Trade Hall where Emmeline Pankhurst first roared her now famous slogan “deeds not words” to the city’s famous Northern Quarter and Canal Street where free thinking, creativity, inclusivity, and individuality flourish. Manchester looks forward as it continues to embrace innovation and change, push the boundaries of contemporary culture and art, and celebrate diversity. All whilst being fiercely proud of it’s industrial past and place as the powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution.
