Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EFEG2B - Manchester stock-photo/gotonysmith-Central.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>Central exhibition and conference centre in Manchester city centre, seen from the public entrance steps in bright spring sunshine under a clear blue sky. The photograph shows the venue's modern entrance canopy, wide yellow-edged steps, handrails, glass frontage, visible Manchester Central signage, the station clock and the sweeping iron and glass arched roof of the former railway terminus. This generic exterior view is useful for editorial coverage of trade shows, conferences, exhibitions, public events, business tourism, visitor economy stories, transport heritage and regeneration in Manchester. The building began life as Manchester Central railway station, opened in 1880 as one of the major rail gateways serving the North West. It later became the G-MEX exhibition centre and is now marketed as Manchester Central, a major city centre events venue. Its distinctive Victorian train-shed roof, red brick frontage and prominent clock remain strong visual reminders of its railway past, while the entrance, accessibility ramps, stainless steel rails and glass doors show its role as a modern public venue. The scene also links to stories about Manchester's convention economy, city branding, business events, hotels, hospitality, tourism, concerts, party conferences and major exhibitions around Windmill Street, Petersfield, Deansgate, St Peter's Square and the Castlefield area. People walking on the steps add scale and everyday city activity without dominating the composition. The strong sunlight, hard shadows and cloudless blue sky suggest a clear spring or early summer day, giving the image a clean, upbeat feel suitable for travel, business, architecture and urban regeneration features. The combination of heritage architecture and contemporary event infrastructure makes the picture a flexible stock image for Manchester destination marketing, conference attendance, venue access, public realm, transport history and reuse of historic railway buildings.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJXH - This photograph shows a cluster of tents erected in Lincoln Square in Manchester city centre, used by people experiencing homelessness and rough sleeping. The encampment occupies a prominent civic space surrounded by offices and commercial buildings, with the statue of Abraham Lincoln standing above the scene, creating a striking visual contrast between civic symbolism and contemporary social hardship.
Lincoln Square, located close to Deansgate, is a small but highly visible public space, making it a frequent focal point for demonstrations, memorials, and public gatherings. In this image, brightly coloured tents and tarpaulins fill the square, reflecting the lack of stable accommodation options for some of Manchester's most vulnerable residents.
The scene illustrates wider pressures facing UK cities, including rising housing costs, shortages of affordable accommodation, and the impact of economic uncertainty on low income households. While Manchester has undergone extensive regeneration and commercial development in recent decades, homelessness and rough sleeping remain persistent challenges in the city centre and across Greater Manchester.
Taken in daylight, the photograph documents an unvarnished aspect of urban life, capturing how public spaces are increasingly used as places of last resort. As an editorial image, it provides visual context for reporting and discussion around housing policy, social care provision, inequality, and the human impact of the UK housing and cost of living crisis.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJYH - A bronze bust of Sir John Barbirolli stands outside the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester city centre, set against the warm red sandstone façade of the city's principal concert hall. The sculpture portrays Barbirolli with a reflective, slightly austere expression, capturing the seriousness and intensity associated with one of Britain's most influential twentieth-century conductors.
Sir John Barbirolli is inseparably linked with Manchester through his long tenure as principal conductor of the Hallé Orchestra, which he rebuilt after the Second World War and led to international prominence. His contribution to the musical life of the city is widely regarded as foundational to Manchester's reputation as a centre for classical music.
The bust was created by Eduardo Paolozzi, one of Britain's most significant post-war sculptors, known for his public artworks and association with both modernism and pop art. Paolozzi's treatment combines realism with subtle abstraction, lending the memorial both gravitas and contemporary relevance.
The Bridgewater Hall, opened in 1996, occupies a key position within Manchester's cultural quarter and symbolises the city's investment in arts-led regeneration. The juxtaposition of the modern concert hall architecture with a commemorative sculpture rooted in twentieth-century musical heritage reflects Manchester's wider narrative of continuity and reinvention.
Photographed in daylight under calm conditions, the image is well suited for editorial use illustrating British classical music, cultural heritage, public art, Manchester's civic identity, and the role of the arts in urban regeneration.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3CGCJP3 - This photograph shows the exterior signage of Posh Pawn, located at 1 King Street in Manchester city centre. The shopfront features prominent gold lettering on a dark fascia, projecting a deliberately upmarket image that distinguishes the business from traditional high street pawn shops.
Posh Pawn operates as a luxury pawnbroker, offering short term loans secured against high value personal assets such as fine jewellery, luxury watches, designer handbags, and collectible items. Rather than selling items outright, customers use them as collateral, reclaiming them once loans are repaid. This model positions pawnbroking as an alternative form of finance for asset rich clients who may prefer discretion, speed, or flexibility over conventional lending.
King Street has historically been one of Manchester's most prestigious commercial streets, associated with banking, finance, and premium retail. The presence of a luxury pawnbroker in this location reflects broader changes in urban economies, where alternative financial services and the resale of luxury goods increasingly sit alongside traditional high end shopping.
Taken in daylight, the image documents a modern evolution of an old trade, illustrating how pawnbroking has been rebranded for contemporary city centres. It provides useful visual context for stories about changing retail patterns, alternative finance, inequality, and the growing circular economy around second hand luxury goods in UK cities.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JG7N5R - Our Town Hall
Winter 2018
The Town Hall closed in January 2018 so that work could begin on the Our Town Hall Project.
At the very heart of the city, Manchester's Grade 1 listed Town Hall is a much-loved landmark, where we gather at important times to honour and celebrate, to welcome visitors and to do business. It's where we host civic guests, international delegations, Mancunian weddings and special events. It's where we celebrate those who've been awarded the Freedom of the City.
But having opened in 1877 the building was showing its age, so we started a major update to this architectural masterpiece to protect and improve it for Manchester and the nation, and lovingly restore it. See the Project Introduction page for more background, including our original film.
Autumn 2022
Now that we're halfway through the construction phase of the project, we thought it was a good time to make an update film that shows some of what's been done so far, what we still have to do and - in particular - share some views of what the building looks like inside at the moment.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2DFF0D0 - Manchester Metrolink (branded locally simply as Metrolink) is a tram/light rail system in Greater Manchester, England. The network has 99 stops along 65 miles (105 km) of standard-gauge track, making it the most extensive light rail system in the United Kingdom. Metrolink is owned by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) and operated and maintained under contract by a Keolis/Amey consortium. In 2018/19, 43.7 million passenger journeys were made on the system.
The network consists of eight lines which radiate from Manchester city centre to termini at Altrincham, Ashton-under-Lyne, Bury, East Didsbury, Eccles, Manchester Airport, Rochdale and Trafford Centre. It consists of a mixture of on-street track shared with other traffic
reserved track sections, segregated from other traffic, and converted former railway lines. It is operated by a fleet of Bombardier M5000s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGECA - Thomas Harrison designed the new exchange of 1809 at the junction of Market Street and Exchange Street. Harrison designed the exchange in the Classical style. It had two storeys above a basement and was constructed in Runcorn stone. The cost, £20,000, was paid for in advance by 400 members who bought £50 shares and paid £30 each to buy the site. The semi-circular north façade had fluted Doric columns. The exchange room where business was conducted covered 812 square yards. The ground floor also contained the members' library with more than 15,000 books. The basement housed a newsroom lit by a dome and plate-glass windows, its ceiling was supported by a circle of Ionic pillars spaced 15 feet from the walls. The first-floor dining-room was accessed by a geometrical staircase. The exchange opened to celebrate of the birthday of George III in 1809. It also contained other anterooms and offices.
As the cotton trade continued to expand, larger premises were required and its extension was completed in 1849. The Exchange was run by a committee of notable Manchester industrialists. From 1855 to 1860 the committee was chaired by Edmund Buckley.
The second exchange was replaced by a third designed by Mills & Murgatroyd, constructed between 1867 and 1874. It was extended and modified by Bradshaw Gass & Hope between 1914 and 1931 to form the largest trading hall in England. The trading hall had three domes and was double the size of the current hall. The colonnade parallel to Cross Street marked its centre. On trading days merchants and brokers struck deals which supported the jobs of tens of thousands of textile workers in Manchester and the surrounding towns. Manchester's cotton dealers and manufacturers trading from the Royal Exchange earned the city the name, Cottonopolis

The cost, £20,000, was paid for in advance by 400 members who bought £50 shares and paid £30 each to buy the site. The semi-circular north façade had fluted Doric columns. The exchange room where business was conducted covered 812 square yards. The ground floor also contained the members' library with more than 15,000 books. The basement housed a newsroom lit by a dome and plate-glass windows, its ceiling was supported by a circle of Ionic pillars spaced 15 feet from the walls. The first-floor dining-room was accessed by a geometrical staircase. The exchange opened to celebrate of the birthday of George III in 1809. It also contained other anterooms and offices.
As the cotton trade continued to expand, larger premises were required and its extension was completed in 1849. The Exchange was run by a committee of notable Manchester industrialists. From 1855 to 1860 the committee was chaired by Edmund Buckley.
The second exchange was replaced by a third designed by Mills & Murgatroyd, constructed between 1867 and 1874. It was extended and modified by Bradshaw Gass & Hope between 1914 and 1931 to form the largest trading hall in England. The trading hall had three domes and was double the size of the current hall. The colonnade parallel to Cross Street marked its centre. On trading days merchants and brokers struck deals which supported the jobs of tens of thousands of textile workers in Manchester and the surrounding towns. Manchester's cotton dealers and manufacturers trading from the Royal Exchange earned the city the name, Cottonopolis

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RPGECY - BrewDog is a multinational brewery and pub chain based in Ellon, Scotland. With production of over 800,000 hectolitres, BrewDog claims to be the #1 Craft Brewer in Europe. It was founded in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie, who together own 46% of the company.
The company has been involved in a number of controversies. These have focused on its treatment of employees, its use of unethical business practices, and hypocrisy in regards to its anti-establishment branding
BrewDog produces various types of ales and lagers, and several kinds of spirits.
BrewDog was founded in Fraserburgh in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie, who had previously worked at Thornbridge Brewery, where he helped develop their flagship beer Jaipur.
In 2009, BrewDog purchased its first bar, in nearby Aberdeen. At the end of 2018, the company and its franchisees operated 78 bars worldwide
In 2008, BrewDog was accused of aggressive marketing by UK drinks industry watchdog the Portman Group and risked having its products withdrawn from British shops. BrewDog denied these allegations and countered that Portman was impeding the development of smaller brewing companies. In December 2008, after an eight-month long dispute and a preliminary adjudication, which had ruled against the company, BrewDog was cleared of all breaches of Portman's code of practice and permitted to continue marketing its products without making any changes to the packaging

The main gallery premises were built for a learned society in 1823 and today its collection occupies three connected buildings, two of which were designed by Sir Charles Barry. Both Barry's buildings are listed. The building that links them was designed by Hopkins Architects following an architectural design competition managed by RIBA Competitions. It opened in 2002 following a major renovation and expansion project undertaken by the art gallery.
Manchester Art Gallery is free to enter and open seven days a week. It houses many works of local and international significance and has a collection of more than 25,000 objects. More than half a million people visited the museum in the period of a year, according to figures released in April 2014. Manchester Art Gallery is housed in three connected buildings. The City Art Gallery building, which faces onto Mosley Street, was designed and constructed between 182435. It originally housed the Royal Manchester Institution. Designed by architect Sir Charles Barry in the Greek Ionic style, the building is now Grade I listed. The two-storey gallery is built in rusticated ashlar to a rectangular plan on a raised plinth. The roof is hidden by a continuous dentilled cornice and plain parapet. Its eleven-bay facade has two three-bay side ranges and a central five-bay pedimented projecting portico with six Ionic columns.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG98MF - The Portico Library, The Portico or Portico Library and Gallery on Mosley Street, Manchester, is an independent subscription library designed in the Greek Revival style by Thomas Harrison of Chester and built between 1802 and 1806. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II* listed building, having been designated on 25 February 1952, and has been described as the most refined little building in Manchester.
The library was established as a result of a meeting of Manchester businessmen in 1802 which resolved to found an institute uniting the advantages of a newsroom and a library. A visit by four of the men to the Athenaeum in Liverpool inspired them to achieve a similar institution in Manchester. Money was raised through 400 subscriptions from Manchester men and the library opened in 1806.
The library, mainly focused on 19th-century literature, was designed by Thomas Harrison, architect of Liverpool's Lyceum and built by one of the founders, David Bellhouse. Its first secretary, Peter Mark Roget, began his thesaurus here.
Today the ground floor is tenanted by The Bank, a public house that takes its name from the Bank of Athens that leased the property in 1921. The library occupies what became the first floor with its entrance on Charlotte Street.
The library, Harrison's only surviving building, was the first Greek Revival building in the city. Its interior was inspired by John Soane.[1] The library has a rectangular plan and is constructed in sandstone ashlar on a corner site at 57 Mosley Street. It has two storeys and a basement and roof space. Its facade on Mosley Street has a three-bay pedimented loggia with four Ionic columns set slightly forward and steps between the columns. Under the loggia are two entrance doors and three square windows at first floor level.
The Charlotte Street facade has an entrance into the loggia with a square window above and another on the first floor.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy RG98MN - Martin Parr (born 23 May 1952) is a British documentary photographer, photojournalist and photobook collector. He is known for his photographic projects that take an intimate, satirical and anthropological look at aspects of modern life, in particular documenting the social classes of England, and more broadly the wealth of the Western world.
Parr studied photography at Manchester Polytechnic from 1970 to 1972 with contemporaries Daniel Meadows and Brian Griffin.[12]:24 Parr and Meadows collaborated on various projects, including working at Butlin's as roving photographers. They were part of a new wave of documentary photographers, a loose British grouping, which, though it never gave itself a title have become variously known as 'the Young British Photographers', 'Independent Photographers' and the 'New British Photography
His major projects have been rural communities (197582), The Last Resort (198385), The Cost of Living (198789), Small World (198794) and Common Sense (199599).
Since 1994, Parr has been a member of Magnum Photos. He has had around 40 solo photobooks published, and has featured in around 80 exhibitions worldwide including the international touring exhibition ParrWorld, and a retrospective at the Barbican Arts Centre, London, in 2002.
The Martin Parr Foundation, founded in 2014, opened premises in his hometown of Bristol in 2017. It houses his own archive, his collection of British and Irish photography by other photographers, and a gallery.

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.
Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse the town hall was completed in 1877. The building occupies a triangular site facing Albert Square and contains offices and grand ceremonial rooms such as the Great Hall which is decorated with the imposing Manchester Murals by Ford Madox Brown 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 87 metres (285 feet) 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. The 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

Hospitality images often work beyond simple venue illustration, because pubs and bars speak to tourism, music, night-time economies, independent trade and changing social habits. Manchester is strongly associated with industry, music, football, railways, political culture and northern civic pride. A real city-centre detail can support stories about regeneration, identity, public services, transport and everyday urban life. Pub and bar imagery can illustrate the changing British and Irish hospitality trade, real-ale culture, night-time economies, independent businesses, tourism districts, licensing, social life and the pressure on high streets and leisure spending. The image can work as a lead picture, a supporting cutaway, a contextual inset or a visual metaphor for wider stories about place, services, consumer behaviour, heritage, transport, culture and public life. Historically and socially, this kind of image can help connect past and present: older streets, civic institutions, transport systems, shops, signs, political messages or public services are not frozen museum pieces, but part of how people understand modern life, local identity and economic change.
