It used to be Central Station, an old railway station which was closed down in the 1960's . It stood empty for many years and was converted into an exhibition hall/concert venue type thing in the late 80's. The roads on the map are the 'undercroft'. The station sits high up and is built on a maze of arches and tunnels and when it was a station they were used for storing goods. it now serves as an underground car park for the exhibition centre above. If you google g-mex and manchester i'm sure you will get some pics. William
