Manchester Cathedral, temporary and permanent
The small building to the left was a temporary building in which services were held while the original cathedral (right) was being reordered in 2013/4. It occupied a section of Victoria Street that was previously open to traffic, but the intention seemed to be to retain it as a pedestrianised area.
Manchester Cathedral
The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George.
Although extensively refaced, restored and extended in the Victorian period, and then again following severe bomb damage in the 20th century, the main body of the Cathedral largely derives from the wardenship of James Stanley (warden 1485–1506), and is in the Perpendicular Gothic style. Stanley was also primarily responsible for commissioning the spectacular late medieval wooden furnishings, including the pulpitum, the choir stalls, and the nave roof supported by angels with gilded instruments. It is Grade I listed Link
