Jaq! It looks like a beautiful place!
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.
A few more!

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!

Inside the Church I go to - Jarre can say how beautiful it is as he's been here!:

This is only a 20-30 minute drive from me. That's the great thing about living in Hull, in just half an hour you can be in the countryside or at the seaside

I'm loving this thread!
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

St. Marks Church Worsley.
https://scontent.flhr4-2.fna.fbcdn.n...b4&oe=5D11798F
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.

These are all so good. Thanks for sharing these. I love seeing a part of history. History of the buildings and our own.
Oi Ange! You didn't tell me there were beautiful libraries I could go to in "that there north"....
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....
Would love to xx
Oldham has some lovely countryside around it such as saddleworth thats about it oh and Dovestones is a good walk but you can get mithered by sheep lol
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.
My mum lives on beech avenue just off church road, I love it in urmston, my mum's going to be moving in the foreseeable future though :(
