The City of Manchester in England was at the forefront of the 19th century industrial revolution and a global centre for the manufacture of cotton cloth. The citys industry is no longer centred on manufacturing but on service-based commerce, in particular finance and insurance. Manchesters architecture reflects this change and is a mix of buildings that date back to the times of the cotton trade and more contemporary constructions including the Beetham Tower, the tallest building outside of London, and The Green Building, a pioneering eco-friendly housing project. Most of the many ex-cotton mills still exist but have been converted into luxury apartments, hotels and office space. It is estimated that 35 per cent of Manchesters population has Irish ancestry and the Manchester Irish Festival and St Patricks Day Parade are among the most popular of the many events that take place in the city.
