   No idea about the top RH building. 

Yorkie, it is Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United Football Club.

I have already confessed to knowing absolutely FA about the FA and football in general.   I even had trouble putting the x's on my Football Coupons!     _))*

OK so it's Manchester - if not are you sure it is a City?

Yes, it is Manchester.
The old building is the John Rylands library and the new one is the Armani shop which is part of the Spinningfields complex.
The library was built in the 1890's and Spinningfields in 2007.

The following two photos are also Manchester. There has been an enormous amount of redevelopment there since the IRA bomb in 1999.

Weight 388 lbs!    Absolutely correct.  Once again the wealth of knowledge on the Forum comes up trumps!    $good$

Although he was a bit lucky as it was foul hooked!


King Edward II of England loved eating sturgeon and he made a law stating that any sturgeon caught in English waters is the property of the British Royal Family. In 1971 the House of Lords eliminated this quaint old law although sturgeon are considered almost extinct in England. In 1933 a salmon angler foul hooked and landed a nine foot 388 lb sturgeon in the River Towy in Wales. It was presented to the Queen.
