Alongside it sits The Haçienda, the pulsing epicenter of the "Madchester" era. This former warehouse turned nightclub birthed the acid house movement and launched the careers of New Order, The Stone Roses, and Happy Mondays. Its industrial aesthetics are captured in stark contrast to Albert Hall's ornate design, symbolizing the diversity of Manchester's musical evolution.

This print also features the beautiful Castlefield canal opened in 1765, and Castlefield Congregational Chapel, converted to a sound recording studio in the 1980s, and was where Rick Astley recorded "Never Gonna Give You Up"

These icons of the Manchester Music Scene are complimented by the slightly younger but in no way less beautiful, Burj Al Arab, and Beetham Tower, a landmark that has made its own unique contribution to the music scene, with the building's eerie wailing featuring on Paramore's song ‘Idle Worship’. 

Celebrating Manchester's strong connection with Ireland we also include Mayo, renowned for being one of the most picturesque places in Ireland. It's home to some of the most stunning islands just off its coast and has a unique mixture of natural beauty and sleepy villages. It's a truly epic place and we've tried our hardest to provide a snapshot of that here with its majestic cliffs and Downpatrick Head which always reminds us of a piece of chocolate cake. Not sure why.
