[The Longford]

I had to cross reference the Old trafford one because ive got a very similiar picture on file so eventually worked it out but the rest were a piece of doddle.
May devise my own version just to **** you all off with my encyclopedic knowledge!

Cross reference. What's that about Mr L?

We await the ultimate Mancunian test.

Cross reference. What's the about Mr L?

I have a pretty big file of images of my own, of local 'landmarks'. It was just a question of going through the 'usual suspects' until my memory was jogged.

We await the ultimate Mancunian test.

Could be fun but it'll take a bit of photoshopping and time but it will be devilishly hard!

 

[Jongeman]

8/15...!!

 

[The Longford]

8/15...!!

Must try harder!
See me at the end!

A bowl of soup but no soft white bread so had to do with horrible brown bread with bits in it that my missus insists on buying given half a chance. Was still hungry so had a pitta with cheese and then a quarter of a tube of Pringles. Then stole one of the missus's Kelloggs Nutrigrain bars which are horrible put wanted something sweet. A glass of Summer Fruits Robinsons Squash.
Well - you did ask!

 

[High-Fi]

7/15 - I'll get me coat!

Stop right there.

Hungry? Buy the missus a nice set of pans and a new pinny for her next birthday and she might just get the message.

 

[jrb]

Oh dear.

Those scores are terrible.

Wonder what Sir Longslipper has in store?

'See me in my office Jerb!'

 

[tlhf]

7/15 - can't believe I didn't get the first one! I must study up some on some of the current buildings.

Question 10's answer made me laugh - completely caught me out anyway.

 

[The Longford]

Just a bit of fun.
All are in either Mcr Salford or Trafford and some i'm thinking are easier than others.

[Potato Man]

Not so sure on a couple of those, but here goes:

1 Velodrome
2 Digital World Centre
3 ?Trafford Road Bridge?
4 Manchester Incubator Building
5 Free Trade Hotel
6 Salford Civic Centre
7 NV Buildings
8 Trafford Centre
9 University of Manchester main building (Whitworth Hall)
10 1 Spinningfields Sq
11 ?Office building, Quay St/St Johns Gardens - Astley House, Byrom House??

 

[frozenmusic]

I was not sure on 3 and 11 too.
Is 3 the Detroit Bridge, that's red and newly painted?

 

[Potato Man]

2nd choice on photo 3 is the entrance to science & industry museum, 3rd chioce would be one of the other bridges I pondered over (Detroit, New Quay St....).

Come on Mr Longford sir, I need feedback ... please. I though you were wired into this place 24/7

I think you are right apart from 11 which is the Reynold building. I only got 9 on Aidan's quiz.

 

[SleepyOne]

hmmm number 3 could quite easily be the Detroit bridge as frozen says.

 

[Potato Man]

Of course. Forgot about that one!

Thanks Manc, I can sleep easy again now.
