Very beautiful and impressive as you view the Town Hall, with cobblestone decor on the ground. The statues to Manchester's historic past, fountain all present. The Lincoln Statue very close by. Starbucks across the street. Very peaceful-except when Market days set up! Loved this square.

if you like Victorian Gothic buildings then the Town Hall is a must-see.. watty Great from the outside but also go upstairs and see the old vaulted hall

there are plenty of cafes, to sit outside in the square, but the traffic is never ending and noisy. the view of town hall is really good, and Manchester events are held in the square
