Manchester's Top Landmarks, Manchester, England (A)
"Although there has been a parish church building on this site since the late Anglo Saxon or Early Norman period, the cathedral we see today looks nothing like the building that would have stood there all those years ago. The cathedral has been modified over the years after structural damage caused by the Civil War, damage caused by a German bomb during the Manchester Blitz in the second World War and further damage caused by the IRA bomb of 1996. In the thirteenth century a stone parish church was constructed in the parish that was to become Manchester, serving people in a 60 mile radius."

"Dating back to 1215, Manchester Cathedral offers a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The official name is actually “The Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George” and is one amazing sight that needs to be seen in the city. It’s well worth a wander around to see the gorgeous architecture, especially as it has been so well preserved."

The list of former members here is illustrious and includes the actor Albert Finney, the Busby Babe Eddie Colman and guitarist Graham Nash of the Hollies and Crosby, Stills and Nash."

"The oldest and longest of Blackpool’s three piers, the North Pier is from 1863 and juts out for half a kilometre. It is the only pier of the three to have English Heritage listed status, and like its neighbours to the south the North Pier has survived storms, fires and crashes with boats over the last 160 years. The pier was intended to have a genteel ambience, charging visitors for entry until the 2000s and boasting some beautiful Victorian details like a wrought iron canopy in the Carousel bar at the pier-head."
