Hey all,
I just wanted to say thanks for all the replies that piled up here in the last couple of months! I stopped following at some point when I thought the conversation was over, but just popped in here again and was surprised to see all the new messages.
I got Phil Gatenby's book as some of you recommended (I actually found it at Waterstone's in Arndale) but alas I haven't actually given myself the tour yet.
I am leaving Manchester in a couple of weeks and am supposed to finish writing a thesis during this time, but I plan to take at least a weekend off no matter what and go see all the places I haven't seen yet (ie anything that isn't in the fallowfield-oxford st area).
I'm also planning on getting to Macclesfield at some point to visit the cemetery.
Since my classmates here have no interest in any of these things whatsoever, I'm just writing here again in case any one is reading this and would like to join me. I must admit my reasons are kinda selfish, I just want company and somebody who could photograph me at the Salford Lads Club.
So, if anyone is around Manchester during the next couple of weeks and is up for a grand tour weekend, feel free to contact me.
Once again, thanks to everyone who replied on this thread for all the useful advice.
