Exchange Square (Manchester)
Exchange Square is located in the English city of Manchester. The square was heavily redeveloped after the IRA 1996 Manchester bombing. This reconstruction included the moving of two pubs to make room for the new Marks & Spencer store.
Today the square is a major shopping area including a branch of Selfridges, The Triangle shopping centre, a new entrance to the Manchester Arndale, including the world's largest Next store, the Printworks, and a number of pubs. The Triangle has a BBC Big Screen television attached to it facing an area containing ranked stone benching. To the south is New Cathedral Street and to the north, Shambles Square. The area is also home to many luxury brands boutiques including Chanel and Louis Vuitton.

Famous quotes containing the words exchange and/or square:
“I cannot say what poetry is; I know that our sufferings and our concentrated joy, our states of plunging far and dark and turning to come back to the world—so that the moment of intense turning seems still and universal—all are here, in a music like the music of our time, like the hero and like the anonymous forgotten; and there is an exchange here in which our lives are met, and created.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“Interpreting the dance: young women in white dancing in a ring can only be virgins; old women in black dancing in a ring can only be witches; but middle-aged women in colors, square dancing...?”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
