Manchester's town hall, one of the most awe-inspiring and beautiful buildings in England, is currently undergoing extensive restoration. It is said to be the largest restoration project currently underway in Europe. The building is entirely clad in scaffolding and the roof encapsulated. Amazing to see the steeples, clock, gargoyles and other features being worked on in what looks like a no-expense spared job. I'd love to have a tour around the roof works. The floor mosaics have a repeated motif of a worker bee; this was a symbol of Manchester's industrious past. It also became the symbol of Boddington's Brewery. Lately it has been hijacked by terrorist appeasers.
The architect of the town hall, Alfred Waterhouse, designed many buildings in the North West of England and they are an essential part of the background of our lives in this area.
This restoration and preservation is the kind of thing I would want public money to be used for - this is a conservative act.
