At a bit of a loose end....in desperate need of some inspiration. I went to Manchester town hall. Its Victorian Gothic archictecture is beautiful. the atmosphere inside was overwhelming, vast rooms and ornate interior decor made me feel slightly insignificant. Designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse Its a grade 1 listed building and was one of the most expensive buildings ever contracted in England. It was completed in 1877. Rumour has it, the foundations were built on top of cotton bails, during the booming cotton industry in Victorian Manchester. This doesnt directly link to my project but being stuck i guess researching around the area im looking at has helped me get back on track. Drawing always helps reboost my inspiration.
