Légende

The new Assize Courts at Manchester, 1864. View of the front of '...that noble building which has lately been erected in the Cheetham Hill-road, Manchester, for the Assize business of the Salford Hundred and neighbouring districts of Lancashire...[The architect,] Mr. A. Waterhouse, of New-street, Spring-gardens...[has] produced what is, beyond all comparison, the finest structure ever raised in England for a similar purpose. An eminent critic has recently declared that "this building - the great work of Northern England - will mark an epoch in the history of the architecture of our age, proving, as it does - more completely than the houses of Parliament, because designed at a time of riper experience and in a purer style - that modern administrative uses and mediaeval architecture fit well together".' From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
