Manchester, Victoria Buildings 1889

More about this scene
The Victoria Buildings were built in the late 1880s and named in honour of Queen Victoria's fifty years on the throne. This building, that dominated the cathedral end of Deansgate, included twenty-eight shops, eighty-eight offices and forty-eight cellars, as well as a two hundred and thirty-one roomed hotel. Our view is from the Royal Exchange Building. St Mary's Gate is to the left, and the now lost Victoria Street is away to the right, leading to Exchange Station; Cromwell's Statue can just be seen on the far right.
