The College of Manchester.

Summary

View looking into a courtyard surrounded by the medieval stone buildings of Chetham's College, Manchester. Sunlight strikes the far buildings, and smoke billows from one of the chimneys. There are a few of the College students in the courtyard - two hold hoops, and one lounges on the ground. Behind the students, the right of the image, is a tall curved structure which seems designed to hide a row of three mushroom-shaped flues.
