The Mitre and The Old Wellington

There are a multitude of photographs to be taken in Manchester, especially in the city centre at this time of year in the early evening when the lights come on. This is a couple of popular city centre pubs – ‘The Mitre’ and the ‘Old Wellington Inn’, both lit up and looking colourfully welcoming. ‘The Old Wellington; was originally built in 1552, one of the oldest buildings in Manchester. A Scheduled Ancient Monument, it was once home to some of the founders of Manchester Commerce, the people behind its first bank, its first quay and the cotton industry. The building was moved 100 metres from its original site in a redevelopment programme in 1998.
