Sadchester

We visited Manchester this weekend, and it was a sad experience. The town centre has changed beyond recognition, what used to be a lovely old commercial working town has transformed into high rise towers everywhere. These seemed to be student accomodation, or bits of Manchester Poly, now Uni. My old workplace has been flattened, and replaced with a faceless box. Our watering holes have been demolished, and more tower blocks built. Perhaps the best idea is to never go back.

The beautiful home of Kersal RFC was still there, allbeit changed to Altrincham Kersal RFC. Site of some of my most spectacular feats of rugby prowess. Dissapointed to see no blue plaque, tho
