I had an hour or so to kill before my train home from Manchester yesterday so I took a wander around the city centre, being Saturday morning it was pretty deserted, the shops were only just opening and people were hurrying to their destinations through the classic "Manchester drizzle". There's something odd about a city with no people in it, anyway, I snapped this photo of one of the few remaining Tudor buildings in the city. Built in 1552 it's had many functions over the years and was famously raised up by 5 feet in order to fit in with the redevelopment of the square in the 70s, apparently there's very little remaining of the original building as it was rebuilt to meet modern building regulations prior to being moved to it's current location.
