Ahh…. this takes us back to the old country! Would also recommend the Cornerhouse cinema to anyone in this area of Manchester. It’s a wonderful old-fashioned cinema with very select films. We saw the Istanbul music film ‘Crossing The Bridge’ there. One of only four cinemas in the UK that screened it.

Having passed all of these buildings on the bus everyday for 3 and a half years, its nice to see them through a fresh and enthusiastic set of eyes! I’m currently working on a project on Oxford Road, and have made this little video, if anyone is interested, walking the same journey.

Love it Keith, i went to university in Manchester and absolutely loved it, there’s so much going on and certainly worth the trip north Gwen! Glad it’s getting some attention as a destination in its own right.

Manchester has always been a little low on my travel radar and after a not so fun visit to London, the UK as a whole has been a little of radar. However I’m intrigued about Manchester. Oxford Street sounds like my kind of afternoon stroll, and free admission to museums or galleries are definitely my thing! Thanks for the info!

Manchester has some non-scenic areas but you really captured the best architecture the city boasts.

Thank you Gwen & Nat for your comments. I really enjoyed my trip to Manchester. I’ve never thought of Manchester as a tourist destination but now I’ve been there, I can say that it’s absolutely worth a visit. There’s so much to see and do. I was really amazed by the great diversity of cultural events and the awesome museums. Great food, shopping and a pumping nightlife too!

Cheers,
Keith

Keith, thanks for the trip down memory lane! I really have fond memories of my time living in Manchester in ’96 – I worked and went to University on Oxford Road, and it sounds just as vibrant now as it was then. It is a great intro to the city. Can’t wait to get back for a visit one day! Hope you enjoyed your trip.

Hi Keith

Nice summary that makes me curious about what I’ve been missing by not getting up North when I visit the UK. Thanks.
