About

Manchester is a rainy city in North-West England renowned for some of the best music ever produced. The conurbation stretches to include Stockport, Salford, Altrincham, Bolton, Bury, Ashton-under-Lyne, etc.

Within the City Centre, which for many covers the area from Salford Quays through to New Islington in the East, and Rusholme in the South, are hundreds of licensed bars, nightclubs, live music venues and hotels. Within the boundaries of the City are smaller areas that have their own unique slant - the Northern Quarter is often see as the creative district of Manchester and thus has most of the smaller independant bars, clubs and shops. Deansgate is a main arterial route into the city from the north and south, and is home to the 60 storey Beetham Tower, which houses a skybar, restaurants, homes and the Hilton hotel. Nearby Deansgate Locks provides an additional six bars to the Manchester nightlife scene.

Mapchester (past event)

Mapchester was a big OSM workshop on 13-14th May 2006. The data collected during the weekend was used as a basis for the Futuresonic 2006 interactive map beta

FIXME: The Mapchester page has some cake diagrams and other info which could be useful for mapping Manchester in the longer term. Should bring anything useful back to here and refactor.
