Manchester Evening News Limited

Established by Manchester businessman Mitchell Henry on 10 October 1868 as a propaganda sheet. When Henry failed to be elected to parliament the title was sold to Manchester newsmen, Peter Allen and his brother-in-law John Edward Taylor. In 1879 the company moved from Brown Street to premises in Cross Street shared with the Manchester Guardian. In 1924, John Russell Scott, elder son of the Manchester Guardian's C.P. Scott, bought the MEN bringing the newspaper under the same ownership as the Guardian. In 2010, the MEN was sold by the Guardian Media Group to Trinity Mirror and moved headquarters from Scott Place, Manchester, to the Trinity Mirror headquarters in Chadderton, Oldham.
