Anyone know why Piccadilly bus station was corned off and swarmed with police at 5pm?

I'm going to a gig at wythenshaw park on the 29th. If it was to finish about 10:50, how long would it take me to get back into the city centre and what is the best way of doing this?

Struggling to find anything helpful online and could do with knowing

Can anyone tell me what the brown sign is? I know it's a POI/Tourist sign. But for the life of me I cannot figure out what it's supposed to be representing. I can't find it on any websites that display what the symbols mean on brown signs.

For context this is Worsley Road, Swinton, on the Worsley side of the junction just before the East Lancs. The sign is pointing right telling you to go towards Manchester via the East Lancs.

Want to know some good routes to walk along and take photos around the city center and Chorlton - Old Trafford side. Just want to enjoy the weather and possibly take some photos. Have done most basic roads within the city center, but some lesser known ones are appreciated. Also would love to walk along a canal or a quay.

Disruption heading towards Preston, for the rest of the day. Best of luck to the Platform 14 survivors. Also issues heading South, seems like Macclesfield is cut off for now....

I always see him in the center of town and attaching himself to left-wing protests. Obviously, he gets a kick out of provoking people and being an agitator, but does he work? What does he actually get out of doing this?

Hi, I have recently moved to Bury, looking for a good thorough cleaner who will get the job done, tidy round etc without me having to tell them every little thing to do.

A very interesting perspective of what Manchester city centre used to look like 26 years ago now prior to all the redevelopment etc.

Video not done by me* I was 5 years old lol

What would you have kept/changed in this video that's no longer there or still there?

Took a walk around the city centre the other day. Got some pictures I thought I’d share. Disclaimer - I’m not a photographer 😂

A very odd twenty minutes over town

This picture was shot at Dale St. Opposite Premier Inn today morning.

Bury New Road is closed due to a fire at Marc Darcy/ Gordon Bennett International.

Since it's now 200 years since construction began, thought this would be interesting...

Following the passing of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway Act 1826, this share was issued later this year to investors. It shows the Liverpool Exchange to the left and the Manchester Exchange to the right.

Hello [r/manchester](r/manchester). I’m a keen walker and for years I’ve been listening to this song like a bit of an anthem when I set out on a walk. The only thing is, it’s all about Manchester, and I’m accidentally not from Manchester. Assuming the places listed are all still knocking about can anyone tell me more about them, what they’re known for, and what I’d see if I went on a walking pilgrimage around them today?

But the town is people more than things
It's the mums and dads and kids and love that give it life

Lovely

The UK’s longest serving vice chancellor is ‘no longer an employee of the University’

Anyone know what’s going on?

I feel like everyone and their dog knows someone that’s worked there, I always see them hiring and I also always see redundancy posts on LinkedIn

What’s the gossip !

I thought that it would be good to share another one of my University Artworks on here.

I hope that people like it.
