Shambles Square, Manchester

Shambles Square, Manchester
On this hot July day we are here in the heart of the city centre, just behind the main shopping area. Sit with me and enjoy a drink and a nibble at one of these very old famous hostelries. Both the 'Old Wellington' and 'Sinclairs Oyster Bar' were moved brick by brick to here from another location 300metres away in 1998/9. The Old Wellington was originally built in 1552 and the Oyster bar has a similar interesting history.

Yes, Daniela, Manchester is like many of your cities -very full of tourist but I do my best to miss them out :) In fact, I was here in Manchester with a special meeting and day-out with one of my old Panoramio friends. Just like you have found - real friendships can develop via our hobbies here. Glad you like it, Herb

Hi Joe, as a lover of landscape photography I surprise myself to how much urban photos I actually take. I suppose that is a result of my many travels. This one, being the nearest city to my home but I still only visit a few times a year. This is one of my favourite spots here.

Cheers, Herb

Hi John, like you, there are many British cities that I have never visited. Manchester, nowadays is a fascinating mix of new and old. I recommend a visit but let me know if you are coming, maybe I could be of some help.

Nice to see you here with me Dave. A great spot for a little pause and refreshment on a sunny afternoon. Also a real bit of Manchester history in these two old buildings surrounded by modern glass structures. Glad you liked my links.
