Flickr photos from Salford and Manchester - new venue possibility

This set of photos from recent visit to Manchester and Salford. The route may not be the final version but clearly video is possible so this could be the background for a future chat show. Media City will continue after 2012 so could be a better reference than the Olympic site. Also the walk is shorter and easier to describe.

The topics for conversation could include the local universities and attitudes to information technology and critique. Salford University will be part of the Media City site. This is even more of an architecture statement than InfoLab 21 on the Lancaster campus. There is a tech vision with university attached. The chances of academics remaining distanced from tech application are reduced.

My own point will continue to be that the investment in web design and bandwidth should be at least on a scale to balance with new buildings. But the backdrop can be as impressive as available.

Some of the photos are in the wrong order. But comments welcome on captions etc. Please add direct to Flickr.
