Apparently the Marble Arch was built by workers from Victoria train station after they were barred from the other pubs in the area. Using materials they erm, 'borrowed' from the station it is quite easy to see certain architectural traits that reflect the station - namely the girders in the ceiling and the beautiful tiles and mosaics. The sloping floor (to aid your progression to the bar) is quite bizarre and the bar itself is full of real ales, continental beers, potent ciders and of course the wonderful selection of beers brewed on the premises!

Loitering with Intent to Make Manchester Wonderful is the tag line for the LRM a group of rather savvy and motivated people in Manchester who are interested in exploring what this fabulous city has to offer. Currently in the middle of a festival there are lots of events to attend and join in.
