Then and Now: Exchange Square

WITH Manchester ranked as a leading retail destination, glitzy Exchange Square, in the heart of the city, has always had stylish aspirations.

In fact, the bright new development, renowned for attracting top stores like Selfridges, is typical of the pulling power and multi-million-pound investment that endows the area with an enduring feeling of prosperity.

The 21st century gimmickry, designed to make the area throb to the beat of a modern city, may not be to the taste of all visitors, but the new space has been applauded by thousands of people hunting the coolest products from top names.

Although most of the cosy Edwardian interior of the Corn Exchange has been lost, shoppers now have a rich array of choice.

The archive photograph is part of a collection chronicling the changing face of Manchester during the past 250 years. The collection comprises more than 77,000 images on a computer at Manchester Central Library.
