Manchester Cathedral

 
 
Manchester Cathedral on Victoria Street.
 
 
 

 
The medieval church was extensively refaced, restored and extended in the Victorian period, and again following bomb damage in the 20th century.
 
 
 

 







We had two full days in Manchester, so not much time to explore so we did not spend as much time as we would have liked here.
 




Very unusual lighting inside the Cathedral





and it was certainly atmospheric
 



 
There was a music rehearsal going on
 
 
 

 
All the Victorian stained glass was destroyed during the Manchester Blitz in 1940 
 
 
 


and had to be replaced, a process that took a long time.



 
 
It's very beautiful
