I made zero plans of what to see or do prior to arriving in MCR but Lilly and Carlos’s suggestions gave me more than enough to do. Glad the were both so knowledgable and favorable about this city.
This museum wasn’t far from my hotel so by altering my route to the city, I got there easily. On the River Irwell, which will be a garden of it’s own in a few weeks, I buildings were both cool olden cool modern.
The tiny brick one in the lower right, first picture is the museum. The big creative one behind is the Civil Justice Center. And those in the left are apartments.
This museum is dedicated to equality.
Common Sense is one of the best books ever written although I opted for her daughter’s book on tis trip but hers in in one of my unread books boxes for when I can unpack it.
And what lies in there are newspapers, freed from the tax imposed to keep the poor from knowledge
And the first Co-op market was founded in Manchester
And how great is the fake Ronny and Maggie poster. Read the copy under the photo
Many museums can only be appreciated in person. All I hope to do is highlight things that caught my eye and share them with whomever might read these posts figuring if you are really interested you will either add Mr. Google or visit in person.
Across the Irwell I spotted this bar, closed from water damage that must have been the best place for a tipple in the city.
