Manchester’s Changing Skyline

[daveoswald]

The Gardens is a shithole. The most depressing part of the centre of Manchester, in my opinion.

And sadly Jim for train passengers to the City one of their first impressions.

I know it’s a matter of taste but if modern buildings looked as stunning as the town hall and such like, then Manchester really would look beautiful.

I had a look around the centre the for the first time in years on Tues, i knew that it was undergoing restoration work, but was hugely disappointed too see it under wraps, the finest of Britain's Victorian era town hall's.

Absolutely. The Town Hall, the Cathedral, Chetham's, Central Library, the Refuge Building (that will always be it's name to me), the Midland hotel. There's some glorious old buildings dotted around the city centre.

Fantastic class development the tower looks amazing , Garry Neville's greatest contribution too Manchester, since the Goat robbed him and scored in the last Derby at Maine rd.
