One of the most famous hotels in Manchester is the Midland Hotel. Its a beautiful old building, not too far from where I am staying. It's claim to fame is that it was the site of a meeting between 2 gentlemen: Charles Stuart Rolls and Fredrick Henry Royce in 1904. This meeting led to the formation of the now world-famous Rolls Royce car company. There are 2 plaques outside that commerate this event (if you look closely, you can see my reflection in one of them as I took the pictue!).
