	1996 Manchester City Centre bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Manchester City Centre bombing was a terrorist attack in Manchester, England by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA).
		The bomb was located in a Ford van parked two hours earlier in Corporation Street, between the Arndale Centre and the city's Marks and Spencer store, right in the heart of the city's shopping area.
		Some have claimed the event turned out to be positive for the city, as many of the buildings demolished or extensively rebuilt were regarded as eyesores, and the resulting redevelopment of the surrounding area has generated millions of pounds of investment.

		Manchester Bombing and the IRA bombing in Manchester City Centre June 1996
		An army bomb squad employed a robotic anti-bomb device to check an illegally parked Ford van, which had been recorded by several closed circuit security cameras in the city, when the bomb exploded.
		Why Manchester city centre was targeted by the IRA is uncertain, but it later became clear that the cause probably lay in the breakdown of the IRA "ceasefire" in the light of lack of progress with the British Government's ongoing talks about a permanent peace settlement in Northern Ireland.

	Manchester Squares & City Centre Public Gardens in Manchester
		A major large Manchester city centre square, around which most of the civic buildings and some of our finest architecture is situated, including the imposing Town Hall by Alfred Waterhouse, the Town Hall Extension and nearby the Central Library.
		One of Manchester's most distinctive squares, St Peter's owes much of its charm to the quality and elegance of the surrounding buildings, including the Vincent Harris's Town Hall Extension opened in 1938, his Central Library (1930-34), and the Midland Hotel of 1898 by Charles Trubshaw.
		Subsequently, with the long and extensive rebuilding of Manchester, and with the creation of Exchange Square and the new Marks and Spencer building (the largest in Europe), the Shambles had to be moved a second time, to their present location, just next to the Cathedral and behind the Triangle (the former Corn Exchange building).

		The centre houses an 1800 space multi-storey car park, shopping malls on two levels, office space in tower, residential flats, and the Arndale Centre Bus Station at Cannon Street, (closed by the IRA bombing of Manchester in 1996, and not yet reopened).
		The design for the Centre was made by the architects Hugh Wilson and Lewis Womersley, who had already redeveloped the University Precinct on Oxford Road, as well as a considerable involvement in the redevelopment of housing in the Hulme area.
		This is the very last stage in the reconstruction of the city centre since the IRA bombing of 1996 effectively obliterated the heart of Manchester.

		It proved a blessing in disguise: nobody was killed and the bombing gave Manchester the chance to rebuild.
		A myriad of history is scattered throughout the city: The John Rylands Library, the oak-panelled Chetham's library (opened in 1651, it's the oldest 'public' library), and even the majestic Town Hall, whose Victorian Gothic interior often doubles as a film set for London's Houses of Parliament.
