Manchester Square is an 18th century garden square in the Marylebone area in Londonand#44; England. The beautiful garden square was named after the Duke of Manchester and was laid out in 1776. In the twentieth centuryand#44; the square became somewhat of a gathering place for true art lovers as the famous Hertford House (museum of French art) was located right on the square. The Stuhrling Original Manchester Series draws inspiration from the artistry and beauty of the well preserved Georgian square of the same name.Nowand#44; the newest model in the seriesand#44; the Manchester Ozzie combines two of Stuhrling Originalandapos;s all time most popular models into one!
