Afflecks Mosaic
As a kid I remember being dragged around (not literally, of course) the department store of Affleck & Brown.
Once it closed, a couple of far sighted entrepreneurs opened a nearby building up to small traders, much like a market and with no long tenancy agreements in place. Consequently there is an eclectic mix of traders in there and what a fabulous place it is.
Well worth a "mooch" if you are in the area and maybe worth a journey if you're not!
Apparently one of the Stone Roses said something along the lines that the only thing Manchester hasn't got is a beach, so theres always plenty to do around the Northern Quarter and beyond.
There are quite a few mosaics around the building - this is the one on Oldham Road.
