Step outside Manchester city centre to find the bustling Media City on Salford Quays. Home to the BBC, ITV, the Lowry and a great selection of restaurants and bars. The watercolour style of this illustration captures the sunny evenings spent by the water, maybe having a drink with a friend or a meal with your family.
Salford Quays was originally part of the Victorian expansion of the Manchester Ship Canal. It opened at the end of the 19th Century, to provide improved cargo services and warehouse storage for the bustling world trade centre that was Manchester (or Cottonopolis as it was known then).
