    DescriptionAs the restoration of Manchester Town Hall continues, the treasures within are being seen with fresh eyes. Among them are twelve extraordinary murals by Ford Madox Brown.

    Art historian Dr Colin Trodd says they are the most important public art works of their day and reveal a remarkable Victorian vision of the city.

    Brown spent 16 years creating the works - which depict the creation, development and success of Manchester from 1878-93.
