Chetham's School of Music.

Is that the place with the table where Marx used to sit?

Tripped over an escaped black pudding?

Sounds bad - hope you are alright now.

It is according to their FAQs:

This is the desk itself. I didn't realise it was a public library - and the oldest in the English-speaking world - so I'll have to go to see it at some point. I'll take some pictures for the Libraries thread if they allow photography.

Cheers, one of those 'could have been a lot worse, could have been a lot better' moments. I was a passenger on a bus that went into Bury Bus Station and did an emergency stop when some kids ran out. Didn't sever the spinal chord or anything so bad, but led to a lot of problems and surgery over the years. Anyway I'm, literally, still standing.

Anyway, back on thread, love your Manchester pics. I used to work in Aytoun Street many moons ago.

Well clearly the bus should have just continued to prevent injuries to the passengers. Teach the kids some road sense.

Glad you're still upright, but sorry to hear of the problems and ops that were necessary afterwards.

Anyway, I've been checking the map of Manchester city centre and I think I've covered pretty much every street in it on the thread so far, so there's not much more to take pictures of. I must have walked hundreds of miles just round town by now. I'll have to cast my net wider in future. But I've decided to go for a walk on Mam Tor Ridge next week, so the photos won't be mundane enough I suspect. Might go to one of the caverns there - anyone got any recommdations for which is the best one to visit?

Global Stoner might know, as he likes being underground, like a Northern Gollum.

They don't, though I have a pic I sneaked last year when me and missus visited. Might be on this thread actually

I suppose it's to do with the flash potentially damaging the books. The John Rylands allows non-flash photography, so its a shame they don't here.
