Altre informazioni:
The red sandstone, red bricks Eliot House was built in 1878. Beautiful sandstone carvings of winged cherubs stand either side of the oval windows on the opposite corners of the Deansgate front. Above is a carving of the Manchester Coat of Arms, officially granted March 1, 1842. The shield is derived from the arms of the Lords of Manchester, who ruled the city prior to 1301 and the ship in full sail is a symbol of trade and enterprise. The crest shows a globe covered in worker bees, representing the world, to all parts of which the goods of the city are exported. The Motto (concilio et labore) means 'By Counsel and Work' and is derived from a phrase in Ecclesiasticus 37:16 'Let reason be the beginning of every work and let counsel go before every action'. In the late 19th Century Eliot House was home to the Manchester Education Committee and later the Manchester Registry Office. in October 2014 Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce announced a major office move to Elliot House.
