Manchester Town Hall
From LGBT Archive
Manchester Town Hall is the headquarters of Manchester City Council. It was completed in 1877, and is in a Gothic revival style, which was then considered modern, in contrast to the neoclassical architecture favoured by Liverpool.[1] The council had called for a building "equal if not superior, to any similar building in the country at any cost which may be reasonably required"[2]
LGBT history
Manchester Town Hall is one of the stopping places on the Manchester LGBT Heritage Trail and has been marked by a rainbow mosaic set into the pavement outside.
A celebration of the life of Allan Horsfall was held there in October 2012.
