What's the rock?

Isn't that salford?

I think its about 10 metres from the boundary, still inside Manchester. Not being a funny **** there either, I think you can see the Salford sign further down the road as you walk up to the pub.

The Irwell is the border, so strictly speaking it's in Salford although I'm sure the OP won't be that bothered.

could be totally wrong but is that from the Masterplan video ?

Bit of a change of subject, but you know that Lowry painting (which is of Burnden Park incidentally, not anywhere in Manc) got sold to a collector from the USA. I know this sounds xenophobic but basically I hate that. Something that's so obviously rooted in a specific aspect of our nation's culture shouldn't be allowed to go to whichever no mark yank has the most money.

The spot where Pope John Paul held court with the masses in the early 80's at Heaton Park. I think the rock is fenced off these days as people were chipping away at it for a souvenir!

Victoria station. If you read below it, all the railwaymen that were killed in the first world war are listed.....hundreds of them.
