Building<\/em> writes:<\/p>\n

….This week\u2019s archive piece is the introduction to an extremely lengthy summary of the runners and riders in the competition to design the new Manchester Town Hall. ….this excerpt gives an impression of the exceptional quality of the submitted proposals. It was printed in 1868, six months before construction of the now grade I-listed building, which is being given a \u00a3325m makeover by Lendlease, started.<\/p>\n

As the writer of the piece says, the \u2018remarkable\u2019 competition had attracted some of Britain\u2019s best architectural talent:….On St. Valentine\u2019s Day the drawings arrived, and we venture to say no enamoured swain or blushing maid received on that eventful morning a more valuable offering than did the worthy mayor of Manchester.\u2019<\/p>\n
