Very enjoyable this morning, taking Salford Art Group on a tour of Mediaeval Manchester.

It's a very difficult tour, as there's so little obvious stuff left, which is probably why nobody else does it, but I'm happy to teach it to any other tour guide that wants to do it.

This is the pillar box on Corporation Street, .
It is NOT the one that survived the 1996 bomb, which probably wasn't placed by the IRA.
Guided tour with Ed Glinert, Manchester's leading historian, 15 June.
