Lovely things and that.

On the side of offices, Manchester City Centre, near Harvey Nichols dept store:

“Born at Wells Green, Wistaton, Cheshire. 1613.

Thomas Mynshull, sometime an apothecary of this town,

Bequeathed this property to trustees,

To apprentice poor, sound and healthful boys of

Manchester in honest labor and employment.

Buried at the Collegiate Church, Manchester, 1692.”

Well that was nice of him :) The Crown Courts are on Minshull Street, I suppose that’s in his honour for being a nice man?
