#RedhuTravels - The ABSOLUTELY stunning John Rylands Library. It's stunning, open to the public, has some of the oldest books and is unreal. Inaugurated on October 6, 1899 and was founded by Enriqueta Augustina Rylands in memory of her husband, John Rylands. The Rylands Library Papyrus P52 has a claim to be the earliest extant New Testament text. @thejohnrylands With @visitmanchester & @lovegreatbritain_in #BestOfMCR #LoveGreatBritian  #akanksharedhu #Manchester #VisitManchester #manchestercity #RedhuxManchester #redhuxvisitbritian #traveler #travelblogger #indiantravelblogger #indianblogger #wanderlust #globetrotter #Delhiblogger #greatbritain #manchesterarchitecture #architecture #architecturelover #potd #ootd #johnrylands #johnrylandslibrary #lotd #indianfashionblogger #Fashionblogger #bloggerstyle (at The John Rylands Library)

Hello, my lovely readers!

This is the 4th instalment about my paintings of the wonderful and iconic buildings in our cities of strength, industry and culture! This blog post focusses on:

The Corn Exchange

If you’ve been in here lately, you’ll see the appeal! It has changed around 3 times as far as I’m aware. I’m 31 now and if my strong, long-term memory serves me correctly - it used to be an arcade of shops with wooden creaky flooring, including bookshops, jewellery shops and second-hand stalls! There was also a cafe. Very similar to Affleck's Palace. It’d been disused for a long while before this. After some time, the Corn Exchange became known as The Triangle, filled with hip, just off the high street shops such as Joy and Paul Smith (Mod heaven!) I believe the closing down day was rather chaotic with shop fittings and electronic items being whipped up by very eager customers! We know there was a refurbishment, to how we see it today and the name The Triangle is no longer used, I’m sure there are still people who use that name. But The Corn Exchange is its true birth name. It’s very interesting to think in perspective about a building full of businesses closing down and being refurbished brand new for prospective new businesses to take their places, would have affected the local economy, the staff and the actual businesses. Of course, not too much obviously as they are still running strong, just in new locations! The restaurants that are in The Corn Exchange now are lovely! A real mixed bag of culture!

I especially love the decor, of course. With the majority of it coloured white with touches of gold and Art Deco around the place. The designers did a great job, because if they were attempting to communicate a tranquil, cosmopolitan style, then it worked! I painted this building because of the history and the sentimentality! We all see these iconic buildings in our own way, we view them in our own realities and remember their history. I see what I’ve painted as special icons in our culture. Special places that hold so much magic and secrets. If the walls had mouths they would tell us some stories! I know they mean a lot to people. Some of the most amazing moments, tragic and loving, blissful and dramatic have occurred here and everywhere! I love keeping the magic alive.

Until my next blog post...

Alex
