Up North: the new, Salford Quays

Diary 2014-12
Where: Up North: the new, Salford Quays
When: Tuesday 17th June 2014

My experience of Manchester is limited to the railway station, airport and the tram ride to Salford Quays.  There’s a mixed feeling of Victorian affluence in decline and successive attempts at regeneration not quite making it.  Salford Quays is a good example.  Formerly the Manchester Docks a mix of landmark buildings, low rise and high rise offices and apartments.  Individually exciting yet collectively failing to create any sense of “place”.
Salford Quays: The War Museum
