Manchester
A home to The Beacon of Hope, Tree of Light, and Alan Turing, and a regular venue for diverse and sundry Gay Village events, Sackville Gardens originated in 1880s. The City Council was so impressed with the Technical School building across the road (the present UMIST) that the decision was made to create a park from which to view the edifice (very splendid indeed).
The gardens are accessed from Canal Street via the entrance in Sackville Street, or from Whitworth Street. The land is separated from Canal St by, well, the canal. The gardens are particularly attractive in spring and summer, and naturally, are one of the favourite sunbathing spots in Manchester city centre.
