The Manchester Stock Exchange, also known as the Northern Stock Exchange, is a Grade II listed building at 2–6 Norfolk Street, Manchester. It was built between 1904 and 1906 by Bradshaw, Gass and Hope, the Bolton architectural practice responsible for many of Manchester's iconic buildings such as the Royal Exchange. The first stock exchange in Manchester opened in 1836, and its function was to raise capital through joint stock issues for manufacturers, mineral extractors and railway companies. It cost £86,000 to build.〔 ==The building== A three-storey rectangular Edwardian Baroque building on an island site, the Manchester Stock Exchange was built by Bradshaw, Gass and Hope in Portland stone. The ground floor features the same channelled rock face rustication that one finds at Stockport Central Library. There is a strong cornice and two further floors, with the central five bays having oriel windows surmounted by colonnaded windows. The end two bays are open pedimented with coupled columns, and the square headed doors feature carved shields in their pediments.〔 Pevsner describes the interior as having "a magnificent hall with a dome supported at the corners by pilasters clad in senuous green and cream marble."
