scenery if you are lucky. You may have a flat above a house or in a tower block
or maybe in a mansion. You may want to buy, rent, sell or hire flat. You may want
to just share one or get a timeshare.
At 160 miles northwest of London, Manchester
lies in a bowl shaped land area bordered to the north and east by the Pennine
hills, a mountain chain that runs the length of Northern England and to the south
by the Cheshire Plain. The city centre is on the east bank of the River Irwell,
near its confluences with the Rivers Medlock and Irk, and is relatively low lying,
being between 115 to 138 feet above sea level. The River Mersey flows through
the south of Manchester. Much of the inner city, especially in the south, is flat,
offering extensive views from many highrise buildings in the city of the foothills
and moors of the Pennines, which can often be capped with snow in the winter months.
Manchester's geographic features were highly influential in its early development
as the world's first industrial city. These features are its climate, its proximity
to a seaport at Liverpool, the availability of water power from its rivers, and
its nearby coal reserves.
Manchester and North West England are served by Manchester Airport. Manchester has two symphony orchestras, the Hallé Orchestra and the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. There is also a chamber orchestra, the Manchester Camerata. Larger venues include the Manchester Opera House, featuring large-scale touring shows and West End shows; the Palace Theatre; the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchesters former cotton exchange; and the Lowry Centre, a touring venue in Salford. Smaller sites include the Library Theatre, a producing theatre in the basement of the central library; the Green Room; the Contact Theatre; and Studio Salford. The Dancehouse is dedicated to dance productions. The night-time economy of Manchester has expanded significantly since about 1993, with investment from breweries in bars, public houses and clubs

Manchester's buildings display a variety of architectural styles, ranging from Victorian to contemporary architecture. The widespread use of red brick characterises the city. Much of the architecture in the city harks back to its days as a global centre for the cotton trade. Just outside the immediate city centre is a large number of ex-cotton mills, some of which have been left virtually untouched since their closure whilst many have been redeveloped into apartment buildings and office space. Manchester Town Hall, in Albert Square, was built in the gothic revival style and is considered to be one of the most important Victorian buildings in England. It has been used in film as a replacement location for the Palace of Westminster, where filming is not permitted. Manchester also has a number of skyscrapers built during the 1960s and 1970s, the tallest of which is the CIS Tower located near Manchester Victoria station. The Beetham Tower, completed in 2006, is an example of the new surge in high-rise building and includes a Hilton hotel, a restaurant, and apartments. On its completion, it was the tallest building in the UK outside London, although an even taller building, the Piccadilly Tower, began construction behind Manchester Piccadilly station in early 2008. The Green Building, opposite Oxford Road station, is a pioneering eco-friendly housing project, almost unique in the UK.
