Tonkin Liu's Tower of Light sculpture seen in front of the Beetham Tower and Axis Tower , outside the Manchester Central Convention Centre on Great Bridgewater Street . The tower forms the visible centrepiece surrounding dispersion flues for a new natural-gas powered electricity and heating network , referred to as " Manchester's Civic Quarter Heat Network " . Once activated its generators are expected to supply Manchester Central, parts of Manchester Town Hall, Heron House, Manchester Art Gallery, Manchester Central Library, the Midland Hotel, the Bridgewater Hall and the block at One St Peter’s Square with varying combinations of heating and/or electricity .
