I see taking a camera,food/drink as essential.but be aware of security,as with my experience of my car almost getting broke into by some scallies when looking at the Lads Club.i also took another detailed map of the manchester district,which was very useful for the 'ourskirts our' as its just too easy to miss a turning when in a car or if you think your lost.dont worry about feeling odd looking at some guidebook every 2 mins walking the city centre or looking suspicious hanging around a street,just go and soak in the experience.Preferably planned for a bright/sunny day!


Brilliant guide for the dedicated Smiths fan   June 14, 2002

For years I've been wondering how and why Morrissey came up with the lyrics and songs that inspired a generation. And, while there are other books that tell of his personality and peculiar take on life there isn't another book which shows you the people, places and atmosphere to which he was referring. From the Iron Bridge to the Cemetry Gates via Salford Lads Club, this guide is a must for anyone with an interest in the greatest band of the 1980s and, possibly, the greatest band ever to emerge from Britain.
