We all know that Manchester is a place rich in history and architecture and features some incredible official landmarks.
From Manchester Cathedral and Central Library to Gorton Monastery and the Victoria Baths, we have iconic buildings to fill many a visitors' guide. But what about the unofficial and unique landmarks?
