The building that is now The Old Wellington Inn was built in 1552 next to Manchester's market square. In 1554 it was purchased by the Byrom family and became part residence and part drapers shop. The writer John Byrom was born there in 1692. The premises were licensed in 1862 and became the Vintners Arms, then the Kenyon Vaults and later The Old Wellington Inn. The building was extended in the 18th century to house John Shaw's Punch House which, as the name suggests, was licensed for the sale of strong alcoholic punch (drink) and became a meeting place for High Tories and possibly Jacobites. After John Shaw’s death in 1796 it became Sinclair's, until oysters were introduced to the menu in 1845 and it became known as Sinclair's Oyster Bar
Many of the buildings in the market place were demolished in the Victorian era to make way for road improvements. During the Manchester Blitz in 1940 the rest of the buildings were destroyed leaving The Shambles as one of the few pre-19th century buildings, and The Wellington Inn as the only surviving Tudor building in Manchester City Centre. The buildings were both designated as Grade II listed builings in 1952
In 1974 most of the old property between Shudehill and Market Street was demolished to accommodate the new Arndale Shopping Centre. The Shambles was underpinned with a concrete raft and, according to the Greater Manchester County Records Office, jacked-up 4 feet 9 inches to fit in with this development in the newly created Shambles Square. In 1996 an IRA terrorist bomb was exploded in nearby Corporation Street. Many of the surrounding buildings were badly damaged but The Shambles was protected by the concrete buildings around it and suffered only minimal damage. In 1998, £12M funding was provided by the government-sponsored Redevelopment Agency English Partnerships, private companies, the European Community and Manchester City Council to redevelop Shambles Square.] The buildings were subsequently dismantled and moved 300 metres northwards to their present location, close to Manchester Cathedral in 1999. The Old Wellington Inn and Sinclair's were rebuilt at 90 degrees to each other and joined together by a stone extension to form two sides of the new Shambles Square. The third side of the square is fronted by The Mitre Hotel which was built as The Old Church Tavern in 1815. Prince Charles Edward Stuart is said to have reviewed his troops by the tavern in 1745. It was renamed as The Mitre Hotel around 1835.
Sinclair opened its new National UAS Certification and Training Center with a ribbon cutting ceremony -- but it wasn't your run-of-the-mill ribbon cutting, it was a ribbon cutting using a UAS!
A UAS raised the ribbon to be cut -- in what could possibly be the first ribbon cutting using a UAS!
Either way we are proud to have such great support from our friends and community leaders and look forward to seeing students use the new center.
A special Thanks goes out to Dr. Johnson, Deb Norris, Ryan Smith, Senator Bill Beagle, Kevin Boys, Thomas Rambo, Brian Wynne, Alex Pollock, the Sinclair Board and UAS/Aviation students for making the ceremony a success!

Not too many Sinclair stations have the dinosaur statues anymore, so we were happy to see a few of them in eastern Colorado. This one looked so smug!
Sinclair Cambridge Programmable Calculator. About 1973. They were available in black or white. They were popular and affordable. Some came with glitches however. Models in the Cambridge series were notorious for being impossible to switch off. Not sure of the transport connection other than the C5.

Stumbled upon a movie set being constructed at UBC. I think they might have been filming Tomorrowland (George Clooney).
Sinclair Talks Improv
January 11, 2012
Kathleen Cleary presented Improv during the January 11th Sinclair Talks. Theatre games and improvisations are taught as part of actor training, since they help actors learn the give and take that strong stage productions require. They are also fun and useful for non-actors, since they develop skills for thinking quickly on one's feet, allow participants to engage in new opportunities and are great for meeting new people.
On the day before his death John Sinclair won life size statues of Old Mortality and his pony in a lottery. After his death they were presented to the observatory and placed in this building.
