Manchester
Today I went on a bit of a trek around Manchester visiting some areas in preparation for an upcoming presentation (eek). On the way I found some really lovely spots that I had never visited before, including Sam's Chop House and the Manchester Central Library.
Naturally I took lots of photographs!
I had my first visit inside the Manchester Central Library and particularly liked seeing the
books and texts that have been taken from the newly opened Elizabeth Gaskell's house.
After recently learning of the story of Alan Turin and his tragic life,
I found the memorial to him in Sackville Gardens nicely understated and very moving.
The whole reason I took my walk around the city today was to visit the statues from the
'Talking Statues' project. Here you can see Barbirolli, L.S Lowry and The Reading Girl
from the Central Library. (more coming on that project soon!)
