Doves of Peace outside the museum.

We took to the free bus once more, boarding number 1 outside the Civil Justice Centre.

We sat at the back of the bus this time. We left the bus at Manchester Piccadilly once again and entered the Moose Coffee bar.

After this break, we again rode the free buses until we came to this picturesquely handsome edifice.

This panorama shot by Tigger is of the John Rylands Library.

A corridor in the library. Though you cannot see it from the photo, the ceiling bosses are all carved in the shapes of animals, real or fantastic.

This is s statue of Enriqueta Rylands (1843-1908), wife of John, who, after his death in 1888, built this splendid library to his memory and honour. Statue by John Cassidy, 1905.

Admission to the library and the current special exhibition on Peterloo is free. Photography without flash is permitted everywhere except in the special exhibition.

After this, we felt we had done enough for the time being and rode free bus number back to our apartment where we made tea, recharged our devices and rested ourselves. We may go out again later for supper.
