Right — every gallery I've legged it to with my sketchbook between bus sketches and gig flyers [smudged charcoal thumbprint in margin]. Free ones, scruffy ones, one in an actual old market hall. Rated purely on how much my pencil wanted to move.

1Manchester Art Gallery	Got told off for sketching too close to a Holman Hunt once (worth it) — 9/10	Mosley Street	Manchester	Grand Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite everything
2The Whitworth	Sit in the café bit with the park through the windows and just — draw. 10/10, no notes	Oxford Road	Manchester	Glassy, park-wrapped, quietly smug

5Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art site (Smithfield)	[same building as esea really but the brickwork deserves its own entry] 8/10 just for the arches	7 Thomas Street	Manchester	Historic market bones, Northern Quarter heart
