Manchester Town Hall's Memorial Hall stands out for its high, triangular gable and the intricate sandstone carvings that wrap around its facade. Built in the eighteen sixties, it served as a tribute to the city's radical politicians who fought for the repeal of the Corn Laws. John Bright, a key figure in that movement, frequently spoke here, turning this space into the home of free trade discourse. The building remains a piece of political history carved directly into the Victorian streetscape.
