A lot of the city centre is gorgeous. You know National Treasure with Robbie Coltrane? Part of that was filmed outside a Weatherspoons in town, the film "Girls Night Out" was filmed partly in the Old Town, and there has recently been a Dickens adaptation filmed in the Old Town with Peter Capaldi. We have some lovely old architecture.

Near the original Birds Eye Building: Very sad to report that it's scheduled for demolition. The sculpture was stolen and was one of a kind. There used to be penguins and flamingos in the reception!

Me too, so found three pics I hadn't post on my thread (I think).
Pictures taken in Worsley in late February 2019 during that unseasonable warn period.
Old Warke Dam, picture taken by some shadowy photographer sat on his favourite bench :P

The Ellesmere Memorial Monument off Leigh road, no public access anymore as house owners have expanded their gardens to incorporate it (probably illegally). Last year could hardly see it because the trees were in full leaf during midsummer.

Such lovely pictures. Thanks everyone for sharing. I love old houses and buildings.
I just got back from a walk and took some pictures. When I walk out my street I reach the small harbour. Then go right and walk into the farming lands. Where they are growing what we dutch people are famous for haha.

Suzi as rough and rough looking some of Manchester is like most cities it has some amazing buildings the museum of science and industry building is over 100 years old aswell, the museums the university midland hotel the list goes on and on of the history, Manchester town hall is historical and at one point they were going to knock it down!
Yup hotel and apartments a courtyard and more Jarre and about time
The owner of the Brittannia hotel had it for years he did nothing with it refused to sell it fought of a compulsory purchase order in the 80's or 90's but this time after a massive petition by the people of manchester did he then allow manchester council to purchase the firestation off him it has been more than a fire station though it has a very varied history
See I only got to see the shopping centre and oldham....
Well the Arndale is now marble not that yukki yellow tile but they closed the underground market in the late 80s which is a shame it was brilliant and your not missing much in Oldham trust me
I wasn't a fan of the parts I saw lol
I'll have to come up and get you to show me around and show me the nice bits! It is over 20 years since I went....

I live in Oldham, well technically it's classed as Manchester but I come under Oldham council, it really isn't the best place! I was born in Oldham hospital though and lived in actual Oldham until I was 19
My son was born at Oldham hospital it is now part of Manchester and no its not the best of places sadly
I love Urmston and it is changing we lived on Railway Road. My old school has now been pulled down.
My grandparents lived at Flixton.

I love it there but haven't been since before they got the penguins
Just to add, there is a lift that takes you the 2 stories of the main tank. And it's inclusive, I forget what they're called, but it doesn't have a disabled toilet, it's one of those with a hoist and the bench/changing table :)
Its a changing spaces is what they call that normally has a toilet with space both sides for a chair as some people can only transfer in a single direction. Just an interesting note its current in consultation but Part M of the building regulations which covers accessability in buildings future public buildings will have to have one of those rooms with hoist etc. to pass the building regulations.
