All Manchester-based.Where is that? I especially love the first photo of the staircase, fabulous colours. And where is that amazing book room?
Cheers thanks for that. I'm definitely going to check out the Library. I have a feeling it's close to Victoria Station, is that right?All Manchester-based.
The staircase is in Castlefield. If you start off at Deansgate tram stop and walk along the top towards the west, you get to that.
The books are at Chetham's Library, which is open and free during the week, have a look at their website for times. On Saturdays you can also visit but it's £10 for a guided tour.
Yeah pretty much just across the road. Not a huge amount to see on the free visit, don't know about the guided one, but somewhere I've always been curious about when I've been past.Cheers thanks for that.

Nope, not seen the John Rylands Library. I lived in Manchester for a couple of years in the 70's but at that time Casinos and bars were more my thing than librariesI'm assuming you must have been and seen the John Rylands one by now?
Definitely go on a tour of that then. It's open most of the time but the tours (free) are very informative. I only went for the first time a year or so ago, it was shut for refurbishment when I lived here the first time. It's probably the most spectacular architecture in Manchester.Nope, not seen the John Rylands Library.

I don't often go to Manchester even though it's now only just over 30 minutes on the train from Hebden Bridge. Whenever I do go though I cut from Victoria to Market Street or Deansgate past The Chetham school of Music and am always curious. I'm thinking of asking farmerbarleymow about a bit of a city tour and maybe an odd pint along the way
Aye, can only do weekends or later evenings but I'd be up for that.Do you fancy a shirl, farmerbarleymow and anyone else interested tour mauvais? I can do any day given enough notice.
I'll go for a walk possiblyOk farmerbarleymow you don't have to be in charge but would you be up for a walk?
