Description |
The Corn Exchange is a fine building in Manchester city centre built in the late Victorian era, becoming popular a century later as the home of an indoor market with independent traders selling clothes, jewellery, books, records, and bric-a-brac. In this short film, some of the traders talk about how poor economic conditions nationally have affected sales, and browsing visitors offer their thoughts. More recently, the bombing of Manchester city centre in 1996 caused severe damage to the building, which was subsequently redeveloped as an upmarket retail centre. |
