Manchester Central Convention Complex

Il Manchester Central Convention Complex, noto come Manchester Central e denominato G-MEX dal 1982 al 2007, è un centro per conferenze e mostre di Manchester ricavato dal plesso che ospitava in passato la stazione ferroviaria di Manchester Centrale, nel Regno Unito. L'edificio ha un tetto ad arco di luce pari a 64 metri (la seconda più grande del Regno Unito) e risulta Monumento classificato di Grado II* dal 1963. Dopo 89 anni di servizio, l'edificio è stato chiuso al pubblico nel maggio 1969 e sottoposto a lavori di ammodernamento per convertirlo in un centro per mostre, aperto nel 1982 con il nome di G-Mex Centre, che fu il principale luogo per concerti della città fino alla costruzione della Manchester Arena. Nel 2007 ha riassunto il suo nome originario di Manchester Central. Eventi Con il nome di G-MEX Centre, l'edificio ha ospitato vari concerti rock, tra cui quelli organizzati dalla casa discografica Factory Records, che vi organizzò il Festival of the Tenth Summer nel luglio 1986 per celebrare il decennale dell'esibizione dei Sex Pistols alla Lesser Free Trade Hall della città. Al concerto presero parte Smiths e New Order. Al G-MEX si esibirono gli James nel 1990, gli U2 nel giugno 1992, i Metallica e i Cure nel novembre 1992. Gli ultimi concerti svoltisi negli anni '90 al G-MEX furono quelli tenuti dagli Oasis il 13 e il 14 dicembre 1997. La capienza della struttura era di 9 500 posti a sedere e di 12 500 posti in piedi. Il G-Mex fu anche sede dei Giochi del Commonwealth 2002. Nel dicembre 2006, con i concerti di Snow Patrol, Morrissey e Verve, il luogo tornò a ospitare concerti. Marilyn Manson, Franz Ferdinand, Manic Street Preachers, Arctic Monkeys, Bloc Party e Hard-Fi vi si esibirono nel 2007. Anche gli Status Quo vi si sono esibiti varie volte. Nel dicembre 2009 l'edificio ospitò un'esibizione dei Placebo e nel 2010 concerti di Arcade Fire, Biffy Clyro, Thirty Seconds to Mars, deadmau5, Pendulum e The Eighth Plague Tour. Nel 2011, ospitò il Girls' Day Out Show. Trasporti Situato nel cuore di Manchester, è servito dalle fermate tramviarie di Deansgate-Castlefield e St Peter's Square, situate a cinque minuti a piedi dal Manchester Central. La stazione di Manchester Piccadilly è lontana dodici minuti a piedi.

Manchester Grammar School

Die Manchester Grammar School (MGS) ist eine private Grammar School und mit über 1650 Schülern sehr große Tagesschule für Jungen in Manchester, England, die 1515 der Bischof von Exeter Hugh Oldham gegründet hat. Sie liegt heute im Universitätsviertel an der Old Hall Lane von Greater Manchester. Sie weist in ihrer Geschichte mit Absolventen, die zu Politikern, führenden Journalisten, Diplomaten, Nobelpreisträgern, Dichtern sowie Oscar-prämierten Schauspielern und Regisseuren wurden, eine hohe Exzellenz auf. Das Schulmotto lautet nach Horaz und im Sinne der Aufklärung Sapere aude. Als The Manchester Free Grammar School for Lancashire Boys 1515 gegründet, wurde die Manchester Grammar School von Hugh Oldham neben der Kathedrale von Manchester als erste Schule in Manchester gegründet, die ärmere Jungen ohne Schulgebühren gezielt auf höhere Studien vorbereiten sollte. Das Schulgelände wuchs über 400 Jahre bis 1931, als die Schule zum größeren aktuellen Standort in Rusholme umzog. Nach 1945 war die MGS noch eine staatliche Schule mit einem direkten Zuschuss. Es entschied sich 1976, eine private Schule unter dem Dach einer Stiftung zu werden, nachdem die Labour-Regierung das System direkter Zuschüsse abgeschafft hatte. Die Schule blieb damit in der Schülerauswahl selektiv. Die Gebühren pro Schüler für 2023–2024 betrugen £15.180 pro Jahr. Es gibt eine Stiftung, die eine größere Anzahl von Stipendien für einen gebührenlosen Schulbesuch bereitstellt. Der aktuelle Lordkanzler Alex Norris (2026) profitierte davon. Die ursprüngliche Orientierung auf die altsprachlichen Classics hat sich auf eine allgemeine Vorbereitung auf anspruchsvolle Studien, besonders in den MINT, verändert. Die Schule bietet das International Baccalaureate an. Neben den klassischen Sprachen werden Französisch, Italienisch, Spanisch, Deutsch, Russisch und Mandarin angeboten. Namhafte Schüler Die Altschüler werden Old Mancunians oder Old Mancs genannt. Dazu gehören Schriftsteller wie Thomas de Quincey, Robert Bolt, Alan Garner. Andere sind John Charles Polanyi (1986 Nobelpreis in Chemie), die Schauspieler Ben Kingsley und Robert Powell, die Kryptologen Clifford Cocks, Peter Twinn und Malcolm J. Williamson. Theaterdirektor Nicholas Hytner und der Pianist John Ogdon sind Old Mancunians. Der Fields Medalist Michael Atiyah besuchte die Schule für zwei Jahre. Eine List of Old Mancunians findet sich auf der englischen wikipedia. Literatur James Bentley: Dare to be wise. A history of the Manchester Grammar School, 1990, ISBN 978-090738304-8.

Manchester Institute of Biotechnology

The Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, formerly the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB) is a research institute of the University of Manchester, England. Role The centre was designed to enable academic communities to explore specific areas of interdisciplinary quantitative bioscience, largely through the efforts of multidisciplinary research teams. The original research portfolio was centred around three broadly defined, interdisciplinary and complementary themes: Biological Mechanism and Catalysis, Molecular Bioengineering, and Systems biology. The MIB Research is now centred around mission priorities that include: fundamental bioscience and technology development; delivery of bio-based chemicals and materials for clean growth; new biotechnologies for production and delivery of advanced therapeutics; and the engineering biological solutions for environmental protection. Since its inception the institute has become internationally known for its research strengths in industrial biotechnology with state-of-the-art facilities for biomolecule engineering. Strengths include: Enzyme engineering and industrial biocatalysts; structural and computational biology, microbial and microbiome engineering; and biotechnology for materials and health. The institute now houses 40 academic research groups with approximately 400 staff and postgraduate researchers. History Planning for the institute began late in 1998 and culminated with the official opening on 25 October 2006 of the John Garside Building. The building won "Building of the Year" from Manchester Chamber's Building and Development Committee in 2006 along with Beetham Tower, Manchester. The building has featured in several television commercials, notably Injury Lawyers 4u. The institute was renamed the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology on 1 June 2012, retaining the acronym MIB. In November 2019 the MIB was awarded the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education. The award is a recognition of the MIB as a 'beacon of excellence' for work in Industrial Biotechnology.[1] References External links Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) – official website MIB description page at OpenWetWare
Manchester International Depot

Manchester International Depot is a train maintenance depot in Manchester, England. It was constructed next to Longsight depot in the early 1990s as part of a plan to operate Regional Eurostar international train services from Manchester to Europe via the Channel Tunnel. History By the time that Eurostar services became operational through the Channel Tunnel in 1994, it was decided that regional Eurostar services from Manchester (via the West Coast Main Line) and Glasgow (via the East Coast Main Line) to Paris and Brussels were not economic to run, due to their long journey times compared to air travel: 500 mi (800 km) Manchester-Paris and 760 mi (1,230 km) Glasgow-Paris. However, the depots and trains had all but been completed, by this time, and trial runs operated on both main lines. The Manchester International Depot, with signs saying "Le Eurostar habite ici" and other Eurostar branding, stood empty and unused for almost ten years. Unlike the majority of the British railway network, it does not belong to Network Rail but to London & Continental Stations & Property (LCSP), a subsidiary of London & Continental Railways. Regional Eurostar operations never came to pass. In 2005, Siemens began using the depot, rented from LCSP, as a testing base for its new Class 185 DMUs for First TransPennine Express, until its own Ardwick traincare facility dedicated depot had been completed. In 2011, it was reported that London & Continental Railways still owned the Manchester site. In January 2013, it was announced that an extended Manchester Piccadilly on the north side of the station would have been the new terminus for the cancelled High Speed 2 - as opposed to the south side where the disused Manchester Mayfield station is located. A 7.5 mi (12.1 km) tunnel would have been built under the dense districts of south Manchester to minimise disruption. This tunnel would have surfaced south of the A57 Hyde Road on the current site of the International Depot. In May 2018, rolling stock manufacturer CAF sub-let the depot from LCSP in conjunction with Alstom for use in testing TransPennine Express rolling stock in conjunction with Freightliner. Mark 5A coaching stock along with Class 68 locomotives on hire from Direct Rail Services were based at the depot, with further testing and commissioning activities for the Class 397 EMUs also being undertaken at the site from early 2019. CAF operations on the site ceased in early 2021. In January 2023 work was completed to reopen the depot for use as servicing and stabling facility, the depot will be used by Northern Trains to accommodate its Class 323 fleet.

Манчестерская юридическая библиотека

Бывшая Манчестерская юридическая библиотека является памятником архитектуры II степени в стиле венецианской готики по адресу Кеннеди-стрит, 14, Манчестер. «Здание примечательно тем, что оно было построено для целей юридической библиотеки и, не считая Лондона и старых университетов, считается, что оно выполняло эту функцию дольше, чем любая другая провинциальная юридическая библиотека». Разработанная Томасом Хартасом библиотека была построена Уильямом Холтом между 1884 и 1885 годами чтобы обеспечить место для встреч и читальный зал Манчестерского общества юристов. Здание имеет прекрасный венецианский готический фасад, «три пролета, каждый из которых снова разделен на три с богато прорисованными и сильно лепными рамами до проемов». Внутри библиотека находится на первом этаже, «теперь она обставлена мебелью двадцатого века На первом этаже читальный зал «с большей частью (немного переделанной) красивой, оригинальной отделкой». К ним относятся центральный дубовый стол, три камина и высокие книжные шкафы, некоторые из которых расположены под прямым углом к стенам, чтобы максимально увеличить доступное пространство для хранения. Примечательной особенностью является «витраж, в том числе три круга с изображениями судей в париках». Офисы находятся выше. Томас Хартас - архитектор, о котором мало что известно. Веб-сайт юридического библиотечного общества Manchester Incorporated описывает его как «известного» хотя трудно определить, откуда происходит его слава, поскольку библиотека, похоже, является его единственным задокументированным зданием. Хартас также не имеет записи в Справочнике британских архитекторов RIBA 1834-1914 гг., который представляет собой исчерпывающий обзор практикующих архитекторов того периода. В 2015 году здание было выставлено на продажу. Юридическая библиотека переехала в новое помещение на Динсгейте, где она остается частной библиотекой, открытой только для подписавшихся членов юридической профессии.

Manchester Square

Manchester Square er en plads og park der ligger i Marylebone-områret i London, England et kort stykke nord for Oxford Street. Den stammer far slutningen af 1700-tallet, og det er en af de mindre parker i byen, men den har meget velbevaret georgiansk arkitektur. På den centrale del af den nordlige ende af pladsen ligger et palæ der tidligere blev kaldt Manchester House, og hun kaldes Hertord house. Her er museet Wallace Collection indrettet, og det indeholder en samling af kunst og fåben. Huset og pladsen er en del af Marylebones Portman Estate. Opførslen af begge dele blev påbegyndt omkring 1776. Referencer Eksterne henvisninger Georgian London (1945) af Sir John Summerson. ISBN 0-7126-2095-8.
Manchester House

Manchester House, heute Hertford House, ist ein Herrenhaus aus dem 18. Jahrhundert an der Nordseite des Manchester Square in Marylebone in der britischen Hauptstadt London. Heute beherbergt es die Wallace Collection, eine große Sammlung schöner und dekorativer Künste. Es ist Teil des Portman Estates. Geschichte Das Haus wurde in den Jahren 1776–1788 im Auftrag des George Montagu, dem vierten Duke of Manchester, errichtet. Grund für die Wahl des Standortes war eine gute Möglichkeit zur Entenjagd in der Nähe. Die Vorderseite ist nach Süden, zum Manchester Square hin ausgerichtet, während die Gartenfront zur George Street zeigt. Nach dem Tod des Herzogs diente das Haus 1791–1795 als spanische Botschaft. 1797 pachtete dann Francis Ingram-Seymour-Conway, der zweite Marquess of Hertford, das Haus als seine Londoner Stadtresidenz. Er war bekannt für seine rauschenden Feste. 1836–1851 befand sich die französische Botschaft in Hertford House, da Richard Seymour-Conway, der vierte Marquess of Hertford, meist in Paris lebte. Seit damals diente das Haus bereits als Lager für die Kunstsammlung des Marquess. Erst der uneheliche Sohn des Marquess, Richard Wallace (1818–1890), lebte ab den 1870er-Jahren wieder in dem Haus und brachte erneut viele Kunstwerke aus Frankreich mit. Er ließ Hertford House renovieren und richtete im Obergeschoss mehrere Gemäldegalerien ein. Nach seinem Tod 1890 fiel das Haus an das Office of Works, die Vorgängerorganisation von English Heritage. Sie ließ es komplett in ein Museum umbauen. Am 22. Juni 1900 wurde es als Wallace Collection der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Weblinks Geschichte des Gebäudes

Wharfside tram stop

Wharfside is a tram stop on the Manchester Metrolink's Trafford Park Line. It is located on Trafford Wharf Road, close to the Old Trafford football stadium. It was originally proposed that the station be named Manchester United. It opened on 22 March 2020. History Wharfside tram stop and the tram tracks around the area run very close to the alignment of a section of the now derelict Trafford Park Railway. In 2013, the GMCA and the Greater Manchester Local Enterprise Partnership announced that it may fund the construction of the Trafford Park Line as far as The Trafford Centre, estimating that the line could be open to passengers by 2018/19 (subject to a satisfactory business case, Transport and Works Act Order and public consultation). The first trams (3040 and 3014 coupled together) passed by Wharfside in the early hours of 10 November 2019 while on test. The stop opened to passengers on 22 March 2020, and the first passenger service tram (3073) stopped at Wharfside at exactly 06:37. Layout Wharfside is located next to the Manchester Ship Canal and is the closest tram stop to the Old Trafford football stadium. The stop has two side platforms. Two dot matrix passenger information displays hang from canopies, and show estimated arrival times for trams in minutes up to 30 minutes prior (up to three at a time) and number of carriages for one platform each. This stop has full step-free access. Services Services run every 12 minutes on all routes. Some routes (not shown here) only run during peak times. From this stop, services run to Castlefield in Manchester city centre in one direction and to The Trafford Centre in the other. Connecting transport Bus Wharfside tram stop is served closest by bus route X50 (Worsley–Piccadilly Gardens) and 250 on Wharfside Way (The Trafford Centre–Piccadilly Gardens). Train This tram stop is not connected to any railway stations, but the nearest one is Trafford Park, approximately 1.6 miles away walking. References
