Well done SDQ, exactly right and it is called the Triangle. It's a real shame because a lot of the shops are closed in there now.

In the old days you would have gone into this building to listen to a concert but what is it used for now?

Is it the Manchester Free Trade Hall where one could listen to the famous Halle Orchestra?

If it is then I think today it is probably a restaurant or hotel.

Yes, well done. The original facade of the Free Trade Hall was kept intact and they built a completely new and modern hotel behind it. it is the Radisson Edwardian Hotel now.
They built the Bridgewater Hall to replace the concert hall.

OMG-- Went to see Demis Roussos there in the early70s.
As for the Halle orchestra, I used to do the hair of the Harpist and one of the Violinists, way back!
