Grandad, this old photography exhibition is very interesting.0:03
Look, this picture is from the 1900s.0:08
Does that building still exist today?0:11
No, that was the Cathedral Hotel.0:14
Today in its place there's a modern building, the College of Music.0:18
Grandad, was Manchester very different when you were young?0:25
Yes, a lot of things have changed, but it has never stopped being an interesting city to live in.0:29
What was different back then?0:38
First of all, a lot of people worked in the mines.0:40
It was really hard work and very dangerous.0:45
And back then, Manchester wasn't as beautiful as it is now.0:49
Market street, for example, was busy with people doing their shopping.0:55
But it didn't have as many nice buildings as it does today.1:00
Oh yes, those modern glass buildings are very beautiful.1:04
But I like old buildings like the Portico Library.1:08
It had so many visitors back then.1:13
A lot of people visit the Portico Library today even though they've got televisions and the Internet.1:19
