One of the most obvious features of the Manchester skyline which we saw at last week's conference was the BEETHAM TOWER.

This is a dramatic building, 170 metres high, from which can apparently be seen the following landmarks:

1

Snowdon and the snowdonia mountains in Wales

2The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool

3The Blackpool Tower

4The Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank

5Old Trafford football stadium

6The Coronation Street set at Granada Studios

7The MEN arena

8The Big Dipper at Blackpool pleasure beach

9The Cheshire plains

10The Lowry in Manchester

and of course lots of other places...
