Coat of arms of Manchester under Town Hall tower
The coat of arms is on a trap door which can be moved to allow bells to be lowered to the ground. The coat of arms is rather different from most illustrations I have seen, e.g. that on mission072.blogspot http://mission072.blogspot.com/2007/04/concilio-et-labore.html which sets out the blazon and explains the meaning. The blazon has above the shield a wreath of colours. The example here has above the shield a plant with red flowers - I think they must be a heraldic representation of either the red rose of Lancaster, or possibly of cotton. The globe in the middle of the plant has on it bees, representing efficient industry.

Manchester Town Hall (1976)
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.
