Hello people... I've posted some of these in the Manc threads, but after posting in the world forums I just realised that some of you may not see them and that some of them hadn't been posted in the UK section anyway. Some of them are buildings you see a lot of, but others are views of places I've not seen on here before...

Fabulous city. Gotta have another nosey around.

Just keeps gettin better and better... Manchester will be one of the cities of Europe no doubt, it just excells more by the year.. Not saying that our other cities don't because they all are.. :)

Great pics.Jumped on a train from Hindley to Manchester yesterday and had a great day. The place gets you addicted ,cant stay away now. You need to visit to apprieciate it.Has a continental vibe in parts with a large pavement cafe culture.

It's amazing how much the street cafes are taking off right now. There's almost one around every corner now.

Yes, makes me appreciative of the fact that I only live 7 miles away, and can be there in 45 minutes ;)

I love the fact that im in piccadilly every morning getting to work. Gradualy seeing betham tower and great northern tower get taller and City tower get another floor recladed. There is always that buzz in the City centre at rush hour when everyone is rushing to work. :)

Heres a slightly better pic of Piccadilly Gardens, taken a few hours earlier than the one above...

Stunning pics. The architecture in Manchester is superb.

Depends where you are . Most of the city centre is devoid of scallies although piccadilly square has its fair share. Its the inner city areas where the scallies are.

Wythenshawe is Super Scallyville !!!!

Fantastic set of pics there! Manc seems so shiny and new, the standard has definitely been set here for other Northern cities to follow, I hope Liverpool can follow Manc's lead in terms of refurbishment of historic buildings and high quality re-development of derelict areas.

EB I can't see a single one of these photos, whats going on?

Fantastic Pics there mate - you've really captured what makes Manchester special - stunning architecture all coming together to make some equally stunning set pieces.

Lovely stuff :okay:

This slow forum doesn't help the downloading of these pics, but it's well worth the wait, go and do something on another website then come back in 5 mins and the should hopefully all be there lol - Especially like your Salford pics, EB ;)
