Manchester Town Hall is a Victorian, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. It is the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments. The building of Manchester Town Hall faces Albert Square to the north, featuring the Albert Memorial and St Peter's Square to the south, home to The Cenotaph.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse, Manchester Town Hall was completed in 1877. The building contains offices and grand ceremonial rooms such as the Great Hall which is decorated with Ford Madox Brown's imposing Manchester Murals illustrating the history of the city. The entrance and Sculpture Hall contain busts and statues of influential figures including Dalton, Joule and Barbirolli. The exterior is dominated by the clock tower which rises to 280 feet (85 m) and houses Great Abel, the clock bell.
In 1938, a detached Town Hall Extension was completed and is connected by two covered bridges over Lloyd Street. Manchester Town Hall , which was granted Grade I listed building status on 25 February 1952, is regarded as one of the finest interpretations of Gothic revival architecture in the world.

Manchester Town Hall Clock Tower
In this video we visit Manchester Town Hall Clock Tower. We set out from the top floor of Manchester Town hall and climb the clock tower. The stair tower itself is wonderful. We visit the ringing room, the mechanism room and finally the balcony and look out at the great aerial views of Manchester city centre. The town hall was designed in the Neo Gothic style by Alfred Waterhouse in 1868. The great ringing bell is called Great Abel after Abel Heywood the famous Radical Lord Mayor. We see the clock mechanism and the amazing Carillon machine that can play the chiming bells. A donation to the we love Manchester Charity will be made from any revenues made from this video. Thank you Tony and the Team at Manchester City Council.

Manchester, City of Manchester, England, United Kingdom, Europe
Manchester is a city and metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester, England, with an estimated population of 512,000. Manchester lies within the Greater Manchester Urban Area, the United Kingdom's second largest urban area, which has a population of 2,553,379. The local authority is Manchester City Council and is at the centre of the Greater Manchester metropolitan county and is situated in the south-central part of North West England, fringed by the Cheshire Plain to the south and the Pennines to the north and east. Inhabitants of Manchester are referred to as Mancunians English. The recorded history of Manchester began with the civilian settlement associated with the Roman fort of Mamucium, which was established in c. 79 AD on a sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. Historically, Manchester was in Lancashire, although areas of Cheshire, south of the River Mersey were incorporated into the city during the 20th century. Throughout the Middle Ages Manchester remained a manorial township but began to expand at an astonishing rate around the turn of the 19th century. Manchester's unplanned urbanisation was brought on by a boom in textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution, and resulted in it becoming the world's first industrialised city. The building of the Bridgewater Canal in 1761 built to transport coal triggered an early-19th-century factory building boom which transformed Manchester from a township into a major mill town and borough that was granted city status in 1853. In 1877, the Neo Gothic Manchester Town Hall was built and in 1894 the 36 mile Manchester Ship Canal opened; which at the time was the longest river navigation canal in the world, which in turn created the Port of Manchester linking the city to sea. Manchester's fortunes decreased in the subsequent years after WW2 due to deindustrialization however investment in the last two decades spurred by the 1996 Manchester bombing- which was the largest bomb ever detonated in peacetime Britain- spearheaded extensive regeneration of Manchester. Today Manchester is ranked as a beta world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network; the city is notable for its architecture, culture, music scene, media links, scientific and engineering output, social impact and sporting connections. Sports clubs which bear the city name include Premier League football teams, Manchester City and Manchester United. Manchester was the site of the world's first railway station, and the place where scientists first split the atom and developed the first stored-programme computer. Manchester is served by two universities, including the largest single-site university in the UK, and has the country's third largest urban economy. As of 2011 Manchester is the fastest growing major city in the UK and the third-most visited city in the UK by foreign visitors, after London and Edinburgh, and the most visited in England outside London. Manchester's history is concerned with textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution. The great majority of cotton spinning took place in the towns of south Lancashire and north Cheshire, and Manchester was for a time the most productive centre of cotton processing, and later the world's largest marketplace for cotton goods. Manchester was dubbed Cottonopolis and Warehouse City during the Victorian era. In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the term manchester is still used for household linen: sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc. The industrial revolution brought about huge change in Manchester and was key to the increase in Manchester's population. Manchester began expanding at an astonishing rate around the turn of the 19th century as people flocked to the city for work from Scotland, Wales, Ireland and other areas of England as part of a process of unplanned urbanisation brought on by the Industrial Revolution. It developed a wide range of industries, so that by 1835 Manchester was without challenge the first and greatest industrial city in the world. Engineering firms initially made machines for the cotton trade, but diversified into general manufacture. Similarly, the chemical industry started by producing bleaches and dyes, but expanded into other areas. Commerce was supported by financial service industries such as banking and insurance. Trade, and feeding the growing population, required a large transport and distribution infrastructure: the canal system was extended, and Manchester became one end of the world's first intercity passenger railway the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Competition between the various forms of transport kept costs down. In 1878 the GPO (the forerunner of British Telecom) provided its first telephones to a firm in Manchester.

THE CAVAILLÉ-COLL ORGAN OF MANCHESTER TOWN HALL
An introduction to the Cavaillé-Coll organ in the Great Hall of Manchester Town Hall, Manchester, UK by Jonathan Scott.
Filmed September 2018. A full specification and details of this instrument can be found below.

Please visit:
THE ORGAN OF MANCHESTER TOWN HALL
CAVAILLÉ-COLL, PARIS 1877 & 1893
T.C. LEWIS, BRIXTON 1912
JARDINE, MANCHESTER 1970
This organ was originally built with three manuals and pedals by the celebrated French organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll in 1877. Cavaillé-Coll returned to enlarge the instrument and added a fourth solo manual in 1893. The organ was rebuilt and further enlarged with the addition of a fifth manual by T.C. Lewis in 1912. A minor rebuild took place by Jardine Organ Builders in 1970 which provided a new console.
The organ contains the largest body of Cavaillé-Coll pipework in the UK and despite years of neglect it remains one the finest and most important musical instruments in Britain. The organ became unreliable for concerts in the late 1990's and large parts of the instrument are unplayable due to collapsing pipework, perished leatherwork or mechanical/electrical failure. The Grade I listed Town Hall is currently closed for a 330 million pound restoration until 2024 which will require the temporary removal and storage of this instrument.

Manchester Town Hall Clock and Albert Square
A little look at Albert Square and Manchester Town Hall clock right in the heart of Manchester city centre on Monday 9th February 2015.
The square contains a number of monuments and statues, the largest of which is the Albert memorial.
It is dominated by its largest building, Manchester Town Hall Grade I, a Victorian Gothic building by Alfred Waterhouse. Work on the town hall began in 1868 and completed in 1877.
In the early 1970s, there was a plan to build an underground station under Albert Square and neighbouring St Peter's Square, as part of the ill-fated Picc-Vic tunnel project. The project was eventually cancelled and the station was not built.
At the end of the video, the clock can be heard striking 6.00pm. The 280 feet tall clock tower, houses a carillon of 23 bells: 12 are hung for full circle change ringing and were manufactured by John Taylor Bellfounders. The clock was made by Gillett and Bland (predecessor of Gillett and Johnston) and was originally wound using hydraulic power supplied by Manchester Hydraulic Power. The clock bell first rang on New Year's Day 1879 but cracked and was replaced in 1882 and recast with all the bells in 1937. The clock face bears the inscription 'Teach us to number our Days' from Psalm 90:12. The hour bell known as 'Great Abel' was named after Abel Heywood and weighs 8 tons 2.5 cwt. It is inscribed with the initials AH for Abel Heywood and the Tennyson line 'Ring out the false, ring in the true'. This is the fourth largest clock bell in England and the pitch is F#.
