Famed for its soccer team and music scene, which has produced the likes of the Smiths and Oasis, this center for sports and the arts is a down-to-earth and friendly city. The so-called Capital of the North has overcome industrial decline, bombing (in WWII and by the IRA) to become a confident and cosmopolitan city of well over two million. It is well served by a bus and light rail network. Top attractions include the Lowry art complex, arcade Affleck's Palace and Canal Street gay village.

This is a replica polished granite memorial. The original was lost during rebuilding in the 1960’s and it was a nice touch to put it back a few years ago when the old records were found. You’ll need a ticket to look at it though as it’s on Platform 10.

A lovely place to have a little walk away from the crowds and the bustle of the town centre with some friendly bird life for company

The historic Victoria Baths hold open days, usually on the second Sunday of each month from April to November, and guided building tours every Wednesday at 2pm. You can see the incredible stained glass and tile work, along with the three swimming pool areas. The Baths are undergoing restoration.
This is an amazing building and the tile interior is AMAZING ... I love old tile such as Wally Close and Subway tile and I collect and recycle/renovate and upgrade old tile, stone, glass in my art. The tile in this building is a trip back in time and an amazing tribute to the art of tile in the UK.
