Looking across Albert Square towards the Manchester Town Hall, a stunning Neo-Gothic building completed in 1877. Manchester 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. Note the orange bus passing directly in front of the town hall. Compare this with the 2010 image (Image]). The square was re-designed and the eastern side in front of the town hall was pedestrianised in 1987, so that traffic can only use three sides of the square. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Town_Hall Wikipedia article
