Thought that would be the case. Except for all the mancs, I'd much rather do that route than having to arrive in Mancland.

I understand the football teams aren't half bad either. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2545/...a0fc7145_o.gif

Well I've been wee'd on at Old Trafford from the bar stewards above, not so bad at Maine Road (haven't been the new city of Manchester stadium)

Come from Bolton and used to go to the city centre in the 80s regularly, Some cracking record shops, in the Underground Market and Robinsons (before the IRA redecorated - we heard that go off and we lived 8 miles away)... Then drinking and gigs at the International 1 and 2. Different place nowadays, very Shopping orientated, though not much for the casual visitor as far as musums etc are concerned to be honest.

BTW Lindy the (infamous) Curry Mile is Rusholme :)

Derelict Corner in Garston,I`m beginning to like these wall gardens

Good photograph, Joe... though a bit depressing!

Plenty to look at in that photo - the shape of the building, the attic windows, the painted flowers on the shutters, the 'wall garden' :)

The shop on the corner was a greengrocers in the 60/70`s I`ve been informed

Stalls in Bold Street outside the Lyceum, how stupid can they get ???

OOPS!!! forgot the date 30th May

Tut ! that's not the right place to allow stalls. :rolleyes:

aren't they doing work around the side where they usually allow stalls ?

Don't know Smurf - I haven't been around Bold st for a couple of weeks.

If it's only temporary that's ok :)
