Hanging Bridge aka Mynshull's House (project site)

The Manchester group visited the site today, below are some of the pictures I have taken of both the site and the surrounding area. Although written on the side of the building are the words "Hanging Bridge" it is not actually the name of the building. The name is that of the bridge (1343) that runs beneath the building and through the chapel which has had a change of name at least three times to date, the words derived from the Old English 'hen', meaning wild birds, and the Welsh 'gan', meaning between two hills ( Hengand brigge). The name of the site we are studying is actually called Mynshull's House believed to be from the 1890's (rebuilt in red sandstone with terracotta embelishments)but founded in 1682 originally , a grade two listed building, owned by a chemist that gave apprenticeships to poor sound and healthful boys of Manchester. joint as part of the same building is a winery "the hanging ditch". Both the building and the bridge have a long and interesting history which unfortunately will not be looked at in this project but I do look forward to incorporating Portuguese culture into it, hopefully being able to keep many of its original features.
