The Manchester Assize Courts - A Majestic Landmark Lost to Time
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 1940s, amidst the aftermath of World War Two. Standing tall on Great Ducie Street in the Strangeways district of Manchester, England, we find ourselves gazing upon the magnificent structure known as The Manchester Assize Courts. Once a symbol of justice and law enforcement, this towering edifice reached an impressive height of 279 feet (85 meters), making it the tallest building in Manchester from 1864 to 1877. However, tragedy struck during those war-torn years when air raid damage ravaged this architectural masterpiece. Despite its grandeur being marred by destruction, this photograph captures a poignant moment frozen in time - a testament to resilience and strength amidst chaos. The image reveals fragments of what once was; remnants of broken windows and crumbling walls stand as silent witnesses to past trials held within these hallowed halls. Though their stories may be lost forever, we can only imagine the countless individuals who sought solace or faced judgment within these courtrooms. Today, The Manchester Assize Courts are remembered with great admiration as one of Britain's lost buildings. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict and turmoil, our collective history endures through photographs like these – preserving memories for generations yet unborn.
