Mundane pictures of the North

[farmerbarleymow]

Urbis. Mundane to anyone living here. Shiny building which makes for good pictures.

The top of this building is a relay station and thus important in the region. Not an attractive building though (it has featured in my previous posts).

Have I posted this before? Not sure.

A nice, if mundane, Victorian street. These streets are always mundane for Manchester, as they are ten a penny.

One of my favourite shops in Manchester, especially the food hall.

Mindblowing

I need to go and visit this..

Just been looking at the history of the BofE and found they have/had an outpost in Leeds.

No idea whether it is still operational, but the design has similarities to that in Manchester. Roust and strong.

The Manchester one is nicer though...

The Palatine (had to check it out myself!):

53.461649,-1.966141

Had a couple of beers there after a misguided* walk on Bleaklow a few years ago. The name 'bleak' is very apt - it is a horrible hill, and not one I intend to go to again. Whereas Kinder Scout next door is lovely.

* i.e. I got hopelessly lost in dense cloud and could only see about twenty feet in front of me! Not recommended, and thank god I'm always sensible up in the hills taking a proper map, compass and GPS so could find my way off the top.

This makes me think of Binns in the Boro for some reason - Fez909 will know this department store. It was more attractive than this pic of course.

I see what you're saying.

They just need to raise those shutters up and stick a fruit and veg stall in the recess and you're looking at boro

Never said I have you on ignore. I said I just ignore your often shitty responses I.e I don't reply to them.

Google isn't helping.
