Description: | This sheet music illustration shows Manchester's Royal Exchange. It was first built in 1729 but it expanded and was rebuilt on a number of occasions. It was an important trading centre and for a time during the 19th Century about 80% of Britains trade in cotton and finished cloth was controlled by the exchange. Music Hall songs were topical, and music was composed and then named after a current event, political situation or even in memory of an important person. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | J F Jones & Co,44 Corporation Street; London, J Scrutton, 12 Marlborough Street, W | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Sheet Music | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Young, William J | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
