One of Manchester's landmarks, the City Hall on the east side of Albert Square, was built in 1877 and expanded in 1938. The imposing Gothic clock tower is often the focus of tourists vying for group photos, and even the torchbearer of the 2012 London Olympics is not exempt. Manchester City Hall can be subdivided into two parts, the old and the new. The popular clock tower belongs to the old City Hall. There are also white marble statues on both sides of the entrance hall, which belong to the great scientists born in Manchester: Dalton (John Dalton and Joule). (James Joule). As for the 9-storey new town hall, it is a purely municipal construction, where the civil servants in important positions in Manchester work every day. In free time, the city hall can also be rented out to become a wedding venue, business meeting room, etc.
