Manchester Town Hall

There are 45 Grade I listed buildings in Greater Manchester, England. In the United Kingdom, the term listed building refers to a building or other structure officially designated as being of special architectural, historical or cultural significance; Grade I structures are those considered to be "buildings of exceptional interest".[1] In England, the authority for listing under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990,[2] rests with English Heritage, a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

In spite of Greater Manchester's Roman and mediæval heritage, most of its listed buildings date from the Victorian period, and in particular the time of the Industrial Revolution.[1] Encompassing several former mill towns, Greater Manchester has been described as "one of the classic areas of industrial and urban growth in Britain, the result of a combination of forces that came together in the 18th and 19th centuries: a phenomenal rise in population, the appearance of the specialist industrial town, a transport revolution, and weak local lordship".[3] Much of the county, which was then part of Lancashire, was at the forefront of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution through to the early 20th century.[4][3] Greater Manchester has a wealth of industrial heritage, represented by industrial architecture found throughout the county;[3] though most buildings with a Grade I listing are those that have municipal, ecclesiastic or other cultural heritage.

Manchester which was the world's first industrialised city,[5] and described as being "the best Victorian city in England"[6] has the highest proportion of Greater Manchester's Grade I listed buildings. Oldham is the only borough of Greater Manchester not to have any listed buildings with a Grade I rating.[7]

Notes

A Sometimes known as OSGB36, the grid reference is based on the British national grid reference system, and is the system used by the Ordnance Survey.[64][65]
B References are to two main body of sources. One being Images of England which is funded by English Heritage to help show the essential information on the buildings administrative or industrial history. The listings are correct, as of February 2001.[66] The other being a book authored by Eamonn Canniffe and Tom Jefferies, both writers who have had various publications out in the public domain for around 15 years. They are both associated with the Manchester School of Architecture, one of the university providers of architecture courses.
C A tower was added to the building in 1995.
D Upgraded to Grade I after February 2001, so the Images of England website does not list it as Grade I.
E The hall was rebuilt 1740.
F The church has parts dating from 1120 and 1412, but substantially from 1524. The wooden steeple, built in 1667 on top of the stone tower, is deemed to be one of three remaining in the country.[37]
G St Mary's Church, Cheadle, was Grade I listed on the Images of England website in was has been downgraded to Grade II since.
