 Victoria Park - Districts & Suburbs of Manchester UK
Victoria Park is a relatively new district of Manchester, having been created during the 19th century as a high class residential area for people of wealth and influence.
Notable and influential residents of Victoria Park included Sir Henry Roscoe the distinguished chemist, Richard Cobden the radical reformer, Ford Madox Brown the painter, Sir Charles Hallé and suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.
Unfortunately, the elitist wealth of Victoria Park did not survive the Great War or the 20th century - its great residences, by now far too large for modern families, began to stand empty and by the mid-20th century were somewhat run down and dilapidated.

 Victoria Baths Manchester and the BBC Restoration Appeal
They were created by Manchester Corporation as part of a general move to improve the health and well being of the ordinary people of Manchester, and they operated as public swimming pools, wash baths, Turkish Bath and a public hall from 1906 and sports hall from the mid-1980s until its untimely closure in 1993.
It was a clear demonstration of the commitment, wealth and civic pride that a great city felt it ought to show to its residents and to the outside world, and it is widely held to be one of the finest examples of municipal baths in the country, eventually costing twice the original estimate to build.
Victoria Baths is open to visitors on the first Sunday of every month until October 5th 2003 - for opening times thereafter, please check the Official website to verify that times.

MANCHESTER is one of England’s great cities, outstanding for its combination of Victorian architecture and industrial heritage.
Pre-19th century Manchester is recalled on the N side of the centre in the medieval buildings of the collegiate church (now the Cathedral) and little pockets of late 18th century buildings amongst the 19th century warehouses and 20th century offices.
Cheetham and Strangeways, to the north, was the centre of the city’s 19th century Jewish community, and the area to the south-east in Chorlton-on-Medlock is largely the province of the academic quarter.

 What Victoria's done for us
By the 1880s, Victoria Station had come to dominate the Long Millgate area and was one of the biggest passenger stations in Britain.
Victoria station survived severe wartime bombing, and then more havoc in June, 1996, when some of the façade was damaged by the IRA bomb which exploded nearby.

The confidence of Manchester's Co-operative Insurance Society to house their headquarters in such an outspoken building should be applauded.
Unfortunately its location in the medieval centre of Manchester has left it isolated on the edge of the modern city centre, although the rebuilding after the 1996 IRA bomb has seen new gardens and walkways bringing it back into the fold.
