The Triangle, Manchester
The Triangle is a Grade II listed building which was built in 1897 and originally operated as 'The Corn & Produce Exchange'. Even after trade had ceased and the building was used for an indoor market, it was still known as "The Corn Exchange".
After being heavily damaged by the IRA bomb in 1996, the Corn Exchange was renovated and reopened as the Triangle Shopping Centre (because of its shape). The studios of Galaxy Manchester radio are also located in the Triangle.
