St. Peter's Square in Manchester, England

I had the chance to visit England in 2008. One of the cities I visited was Manchester. I can still remember our experience when visiting this city. I wish I can share it next time. Thanks to my friend, who brought me there and showed me the city.

I have here some images taken during my visit last November 2008.

The area around St Peter's Square was previously known as St Peter's Field , which went down in history as the location of the 1819 Peterloo Massacre. The name derives from St Peter's Church which was built where the gardens are today in the late 18th century and also gave its name to Peter Street. It was a building in Classical style (architect James Wyatt: built 1788-94) and once famous for its church music. It was demolished in 1907 and the Cenotaph replaced it in 1924. A stone cross (1908) commemorates the church. The square is the site for the city's Remembrance Day commemoration each year.

To the west of the square is Peter Street, on which is the Midland Hotel and to the east is Oxford Street.

Metrolink trams from Altrincham and Eccles serve two platforms in the west of the square which are located directly in front of Manchester Central Library. The square is located southeast of Manchester Town Hall and it is between Deansgate-Castlefield and Piccadilly Gardens.

To the west of the square is Peter Street, on which is the Midland Hotel and to the east is Oxford Street. more here

The Town Hall of Manchester, England

Manchester is a city of Greater Manchester, England. It is located in south-central part of North West England. It is home to two Premier League football teams, Manchester City and Manchester United.

What you see here in my image is the Town Hall of Manchester. It has a Victorian-era and Neo-gothic architecture. It was completed by architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1877. It is use as ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and also houses a number of local government departments.

Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square, seat of local governance, is an example of Victorian era Gothic revival architecture.
You can see the embedded date during my visit last 2008.

Remembering Manchester, England

I just remembered my trip with a friend in Manchester, England last year. I wish to see Manchester United, a soccer football team in this city but there was no enough time. This photo was taken in one of their souvenir shop where I also bought some things including a travel book and some postcards about Manchester....sad to say it was left in Birmingham because I had excess luggage already. I hope you had a great weekend!!

Last but not the least, I guess I am going to the United States again by March. My sisters might be inviting me for a very important occassion. My sister in Las Vegas also told me that they might bring me in Waterworld in Orlando, Florida. I guess it is time to find for some cheap hotels in orlando. Booking a hotel in advance can sometimes be very cheap especially if they have some promos. This only my travel tip for today.

One last thing, you might wonder why I don't often update my blogs? I am still on vacation in my home country. We are in Makati right now and staying in one of the cheap hotels in this financial capital district of the Philippines. see you later guys!

My Euro Travel in Manchester, England

I got a one day sightseeing in Manchester with a friend. Sad to say, we only only spent their some hours because we were left by the train from Birmingham to Manchester. At least I had seen a part of Manchester. This is a photo taken somewhere in Manchester, England.

My travel tip for today; always be early when you will be riding a bus or train, they won't wait for you. If you're late, you're sorry, you lose time and money.

that's me in front of a monument in Manchester..no idea what monument is this? got some info about this monument, feel free to leave a comment! thanks!

St. Pauls Cathedral, Manchester

A photo taken at St. Paul Cathedral in Manchester, England. You can also see in the background the train passing-by as this photo was taken. Manchester is a nice city I guess but we just don't have enough time to go around the whole Manchester area. Feel free to visit my other sites for morev updates..take care everyone!!

Manchester Eye, England

If you say that there is a so-called London Eye, Manchester also have an Eye. But anyway, London is the biggest ferris wheel I have ever seen. If I am not mistaken it is also the biggest in the world. Any idea out there? I could remember my visit to Manchester as seen on photo date here. We did a lot of walking here. I don't know how many kilometers we had walked last time. I thought I will be losing some weight but I guess I gained some because we kept on eating in the fastfood restaurants. Do you have any idea if Ephedrasil hardcore is really good for losing excess weight. We will see!! Goodnight folks it is past midnight again!!

Manchester, England

Manchester is one of the cities I visited as I went to England last year. This photo was taken in front of their City Hall. We just had a short tour in the city as we visited here. I just bought some souvenirs like postcards, city travel guide and fridge magnet during my visit. According to history, Manchester is the first industrialized city in the world and played a main role during the Industrial Revolution.

Etymology of Manchester
source: wikipedia

The name Manchester originates from the Ancient Roman name Mamucium, the name of the Roman fort and settlement, generally thought to be a Latinisation of an original Celtic name (possibly meaning "breast-like hill" from mamm- = "breast"), plus Old English ceaster = "town", which is derived from Latin castra = "camp". An alternative theory suggests that the origin is British Celtic mamma = "mother", where the "mother" was a river-goddess of the River Medlock which flows below the fort. Mam means "female breast" in Irish Gaelic and "mother" in Welsh. Manchester is also the 10th most common place name in the United States.
