Happy Mondays: Cornerhouse cultural cornerstone


The Cornerhouse arts centre on a wet evening - it's the two buildings on the left and centre. It is controversially moving to new premises about five minutes walk away on First Street in a couple of years.

I need only turn to Wikipedia for a perfect description: Cornerhouse is located in the heart of Manchester’s cultural corridor on Oxford Road, housing three floors of contemporary art galleries, three screens showing the best of independent cinema, a bar, café and a bookshop. Since it opened in 1985, Cornerhouse has been at the forefront of Manchester’s vibrant cultural scene.

  5. Went there once on a Sunday shortly after it opened. Alas parked my car under a railway bridge around the corner and came back to find it had been broken into.
