The Midland is a 312 bedroom grand hotel situated in Manchester city centre, in North West England. Opened in September 1903, it was built by the Midland Railway to serve the adjacent Manchester Central railway station. A covered walkway into the station was built but demolished shortly after the Second World War.
Situated on Peter Street and Lower Mosley Street in the city centre, the Midland was built by Charles Trubshaw in 1898-1903 for the Midland Railway Company. It is situated near to Manchester Central (formerly the G-Mex Centre and originally Manchester Central railway station), the Bridgewater Hall and Manchester Central Library. Its distinctive style is made of red brick and brown terracotta, with the exterior clad in several varieties of polished granite and Burmantoft terracotta. The building is grade II* listed.
The hotel was regularly used by American cotton traders whilst they were on business selling their raw cotton to Lancashire cotton cloth manufacturers; the businessmen collectively referred to themselves as the Old Colony Club. One of the hotel's restaurants has been renamed the Colony in recognition of this fact.

Italian Gardens - Perseus and Medusa, England
A park local to us and where many friends like to meet up for a good old chat and a cuppa after a walk around the lake. The lakeside walk takes you aside the River Trent, by the bird hide, past the cascading weir to the Lakeside Cafe, along the woodland trails and through a wildflower meadow with giant dandelion sculptures.
At the head of the Italian Gardens stands Perseus, at the moment he has slain Medusa, holding her head aloft!
