This is Sam Platt's pub by the side of the Manchester Ship Canal. The octagonal shaped building is an extension of the pub built on a circular concrete base above the canal. The Pub is named after Samuel Platt who was involved with the Manchester Ship canal project. In the distance, looking under the bridge to the pub you can see the Trafford Road Bridge.
on the Eastern side of the canal.
Is that built on a swing bridge base, very clever use that
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to sit in that octagonal room and watch things go by on the river.
ReplyDeleteThat pub looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteJust an amazing building and view so nice.
ReplyDeleteI like buildings built over the water. We use to have a hotel out on a pier in Galveston, Texas. It was called the Flagship.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun place to have a brew or two! Or a glass of wine if you are me. Anytime a pub or restaurant is on the water it gets a good review from me even before I eat. (It has to be terrible bad food before I would hate it -- I love to eat on the water.)
ReplyDeleteSo much of interest in London! Or is Manchester not in London? I am such an ignoramus! :-)
