Corridors of power in the gothic ediface that is Manchester Town Hall.
A sign that autumn is almost here is the new series of BBC 1's Antiques Roadshow, starting tonight coming from the Town Hall. I always assocciate the programme, which explores all treasures great and small, with cosy, dark evenings. Over 3,100 items were examined and evaluated when the programme was filmed here, and if you miss it when live, you can see the best online at BBC i Player after the Sunday evening broadcast: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mj2y
I am going to get to Manchester some time. It's the last of the UK cities I have to explore. Not sure why I've never got there. It's definitely an ambition now.
ReplyDeleteI like the Antiques Roadshow, got a press pass when they came here, will watch the Manchester one.
ReplyDeleteNever been in your Town hall, the Leeds town hall is splendid, the Victorians knew how to do things in style. Paul at Leeds in Yorkshire pictures
Great place Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of places like this that were built by great artisans of their time. I suppose the mere cost of building this way nowadays is prohibitive everywhere and the modern style was designed as an alternative building style.
ReplyDeleteWow,what a glorious place... I love your choice to shoot at the juncture of the warmly lit hallway and the cool light in the stairwell... well done, Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a splendid Town Hall Chrissy, you certainly don't see many as grand as that, love the Antiques Road Show, would love it if they came to Perth at some stage.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful architecture. Very classic looking and a great place to start the show.
ReplyDeleteI miss English TV and Radio. Thank you for this nice journey. Please have a good new week.
ReplyDeleteChrissy - I love, love the architectural details in your town hall photo!
