Manchester Town Hall Lecture
About this Event
THE HEARTH OF THE MATTER
Manchester Town Hall closed in 2018 for major restoration to repair and upgrade the building to modern standards. The work includes conservation of many original heritage features.
The Heritage Lectures in Central Library shine a light on some of this fascinating work and the next one – on Tuesday 17 November – will focus on the restoration of almost 100 fireplaces throughout the building, with a presentation by contractors Clan Contracting.
The presenter will be Colin McEllin, Operations Director.
The fireplaces on site range from very grand pieces in the State Rooms, with their cast-iron grates, stone surrounds and beautiful tiles, to the very much more modest examples in smaller rooms and offices; a fascinating illustration of organisational hierarchy! No two are the same, and they all varied in condition too. Also check out other in Manchester.
