Good Service, competitive fuel prices, hey, why not.

Everything within, helpful staff, what's not to like?

I try to visit the Alan Turing memorial at least once a week. It is situated in one of Manchester City Centres 'hidden' parks. Sackville gardens is at the confluence of a number of my 'towns' integrated spaces. It has one corner in Manchester's, now, internationally known 'Gay Village' and the other corner at the seat of the City of Manchester's internationally renowned University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST). A Juxtaposition which would not of escaped Alan Turing himself: After becoming the international father of modern Computing (after Charles Babbage), doing Sterling work in a British radio factory during World War 2, yet hounded, to commit suicide, with a Poisoned Apple shortly afterward; because of his Homosexuality. Her Britannic Majesty, Queen Elisabeth the Second, subsequently gave her Royal Pardon to his transgressions, but nevertheless, the situation would,...perhaps..., have amused both Alan and the two True Love's of his life: Christopher.

Fantastic hub for the local community, everyone is always polite, welcoming and ready to help. From title-searches, to information about the Community Grocer. Definitely the Place 😀
