Manchester - Market Street - Old Engraving

Flashback



A view of Market Street from Piccadilly, Manchester.   The Bridgewater Arms (Royal Hotel) featured on the left, and Joseph Gleave & Sons the printers to the right.
Drawn by John Harwood (1818-1836?).  Engraved by Frederick James Havell (1801-1840).
Originally produced as a steel engraving for paper for W. H. Pyne's "Lancashire Illustrated, from Original Drawings" (London : 1828-1831).     Published By London: Fisher, Son & Co.,1829

I intend to create a tour of Manchester's City Centre in 2016.  Keep an eye out on www.obelisktours.com
