Recently over the Valentines weekend me and my boyfriend took a weekend away up to Manchester, I've been there a number of times because my sister went to Salford for university. Now without being dramatic Manchester is by far one of my favourite cities I've ever visited.
Whilst have a stroll around central I noticed this glorious building. After some research I found out the building is in fact a library and part of the university of Manchester. The library is called the John Rylands library is a late Victorian neo-gothic build and founded by a the window of John Rylands. The library has been open since the first of January 1900 the building took ten years to complete.
John Rylands was Manchesters first ever Multi-millonaire to live in the city, he was the main man when it came to textile manufacturing in the UK in Victorian Britain
