Former Manchester Central station
Former Manchester Central station After an evening out at a superb concert held in Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, we emerged to find the former Manchester Central station illuminated and looking very impressive. The station was opened in 1880 by the Cheshire Lines Committee eventually being closed by BR in 1969 in a very sorry state. The grade II listed structure was rebuilt during the 1980s by Manchester City Council to be opened as the G-MEX centre, a venue for conferences and concerts. Following the opening of the Manchester Arena at Victoria station in 1995, it was extensively re-modelled to become, once again, Manchester Central, a large venue for hosting national events such as political conferences and, of all things the X-Factor final!
