A monastery in Manchester, which was previously listed as one of the world's 100 most endangered sites has been fully restored - but as a conference hall.
The historic building which was built between 1863 and 1872 for Franciscan monks who had come to serve the local Catholic community has since been dubbed the 'Taj Mahal of Manchester'.
Designed by Edward Pugin, Gorton Monastery was put on the World Monuments Fund Watch List of 100 Most Endangered Sites in the World in 1997.
