148 Manley Road, Whalley Range, Manchester, was the home of many of my student friends. Otherwise known as the Claremont Hotel ("Claremont" was carved in the gateposts), it was the venue of many a wild party.
148 Manley Road deserves its own web site, let's see if the inspiration and time can be gathered to do it here!
For the delectation of the Manley Road connoisseur, here are some interesting artifacts!
