Gateway to Chinatown

The Toads are away for afew days in the campervan we are staying at Burrs Country park in Bury and took the metro tram into Manchester today .
It was a bit rainy so we had a look around the cathedral which was practically destroyed by a bomb in 1940 but has been rebuilt and has some amazing modern stained glass windows to replace those that were destroyed including the Fire Window representing the flames to mark the spot where the bomb fell.

We took a walk through Chinatown which is the 2nd largest chinatown in the UK and then wandered through the Northern Quarter which is well known for it's craft and vintage shops.
