Manchester Town Hall has remained a constant part of the city's ever-expanding skyline for almost 145 years.
Although new skyscrapers are always being built, the Victorian, Neo-gothic Grade I-listed building is an iconic and historic centrepiece. Back in 2018 it closed to the public as a six-year, £300 million project got under way to restore it and it is not until 2024 that Mancunians and those from further afield will be able to see the finished article.
However, Manchester Evening News was lucky enough to get invited inside and all the up to the spire, where construction company LendLease is currently overseeing specialist renovation and restoration work.
