Chethams:

Manchester Grammar School:

Manchester University:

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Sadly the Granada sign is no longer there.

Not seen anyone mention (correct me if I'm wrong) The Free Trade Hall

The Vimto statue?

 

[LongsightM13]

Great shouts on The Toastrack and Gorton Monastery. I would add Victoria Baths in Longsight and the former Express building, aka 'The Black Lubyanka', in Ancoats to any list of iconic Manchester buildings.

A statue of Abraham Lincoln in recognition of Manchesters support for the Emancipation Proclamation during the American Civil war. Manchester suffered huge hardship due to the cotton blockade of the Confederacy but the support remained firm.

Liverpool supported the confederacy and ran the blockades in support of the south

I always wondered why there was a statue of him in town.

Xmas markets is another, OP.

Where in town is it please?
