Manchester Area

I will be staying over in Manchester for a few days soon and looking for some good striking architectural locations where I could convert the images to B+W for printing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Salford Quays is the first place that springs to mind.

Thanks Eddie, I did read some time ago (I think) that the Library has a good staircase and internal architecture

The quays and media city would be my first visit, then I'd visit the city centre for the town hall and central library, university building, china town, Manchester cathedral, northern quarter.

Have fun

Top deck of the carpark at the MEN is pretty good for a city scape, was better when the wheel was there. Urbis has some nice shapes from certain angles while your out that way. Not seen anything of the new co-op boat styled building which is new again out that way. The external shot of the Printworks from the triangle, the buildings of the triangle would be great without all the signs.

I don't normally venture in to the rest of the city other than driving.

Central Library is currently closed as part of a (very long) refurbishment. The Town Hall must be worth a visit.

Thanks for the update, Mike
Can you take pictures in the Town Hall

For newish architecture and lots of glass there's spinning fields off deansgate, and over the river and the Civil Justice Centre. While on Deansgate, the John Rylands Libary allows photography.

Salford quays

The new CO-OP is on my list too for when I next go
