I'm in Manchester Sat night and have all day Sunday to do some sight seeing ... any suggestions as I know nothing of the area .....? |
| DMIOM:
You may find the Museum of Science and Industry interesting - I've not been for many many years, but if I recall correctly, Stew has frequented it more recently (and there may even be a 1:1 prototype for one of Stew's models there?) Paging Mr Hart ..... Dave |

It's close to MOSI. There's a reasonably priced cafe at the library. I can recommend the Manchester Sausage sandwich! Cheers. Phil. |

A good place to eat is the "Pleasure " in China town Only one problem all the menu's are in Chinese and the waiters/waitress only speak their own language , chop sticks only :Doh: but the food is first class |

I'll second Phil's suggestions. If visiting MOSI, do take in the world's oldest railway station (Liverpool Road), which is part of it. Opposite the entrance to MOSI (and again part of it) is the Air and Space Museum, should planes be your thing. If time is on your hands, the Imperial War Museum North is about 2 miles W of the city centre in Trafford Park. Speaking of which, the Rugby League Final (Warrington v Leeds) is at Old Trafford, k.o. 6pm Saturday night, so it may get a bit congested round there, and in the city centre pubs afterwards, particularly if Warrington win. And speaking of pubs, the Briton's Protection (high Victorian) adjacent to the Bridgewater Hall on the corner of Lower Mosley and Gt Bridgewater Streets is worth a visit. Find your way to the back of the bar, where it's less crowded http://www.manchesterbars.com/britonsprotection.htm. As an alternative to Chinatown, their Grunt, Gobble and ZoomCoo pie might fill you up. Note: the museums are free. Andy |
