Mancunian curiosities
Loos - Victorian style on Charles Street.
"Here was the site of Manchester's oldest pissotiere, retained for posterity, last used AD 1896"
So which is it? Medlock Street or Mallard Street? Mallard Street has the newer sign and is the one you will find on the current maps. There is a Medlock Street in Manchester but it is running parallel to this one about 500 yards away. Bizarre.
And now for some Manchester skyline. Nothing strange here, apart from maybe that white girder on the left.
