The Hidden Gem
St. Marys Catholic Church


The Hidden Gem, founded in 1794 as the first Catholic church post-Reformation and for over 200 years, it has witnessed Manchester's transformation from slums to a modern commercial hub, and recent city center regeneration has rejuvenated its historic Victorian core.
 
Bridge Water Canal
The Bridgewater Canal at Hulme Locks is historically significant as one of the world's first purpose-built transportation canals. 
The place is nice to take explore for its picturesque setting where there is a blending of history with modern urban development.

It's a mix of vibes. A little of Amsterdam canals, Copehagen's Nyhaven, and a blend of modern transportation with their beautiful bridges and arcs like New York's Manhattan Bridge area.
Really nice and well worth to take a stroll down this area.

Manchester Art Gallery
(Free entry)
Like many of the fantastic museums in London, the Manchester Art Gallery thou small, packs a very nice curation of pieces over a variety of genres and times. All of which, with their write-ups provide a casual and enjoyable walk through. 
*Playing on light and shadow as the man looks in on the woman he loves.*
*Where's Wally?*
*Depiction of Jesus foreshadowing what was to come through symbolic representation of the play of light and items laid around him.*
The tied head piece was purposefully included to draw attention and accent the fur texture.*
*A close up of the attention to detail. A death-head moth in one hand. The moth in silence of the lambs movie poster.
A really nice, quaint curation that's worth a pop-in to see a different artistic perspective or hide from the weather. Free Wifi available on-site.
