Manchester. Been to Old Trafford a couple of times to see Liverpool and have seen the Cobblers at most of Manchester’s peripheral towns, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham etc., but don’t know a great deal about Manchester itself. So we went for a day trip out to find out more. We took the train from Liverpool and had a walk along the canal through the centre of town and out the other side and ended up at to the stadium that Man City now use War Museum is interesting as are the docks generally – huge docks 35 miles from the sea? Museum of Science and industry is well worth a visit. BBC is there now of course and in the past year we’ve bought the local Newspaper (MEN), so I know have a slight professional interest. But that’s about it. Some really interesting ex-industrial buildings along the canal though. (Many of which have now been Urban Splashed).
