There are 11 Grade I listed buildings in 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 Manchester's medieval history, most of its listed buildings date from the Victorian and Edwardian periods, and in particular the time of the Industrial Revolution, when the city was expanding rapidly.[1] Manchester was the world's first industrialised city,[3] and has been described as "the best Victorian city in England".[4]

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.[23][24]
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.[25] 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 MSA, one of the university providers of architecture courses.
C A tower was added to the building in 1995.
