June 16th - Historical Note

On this day, twelve years ago, a massive car bomb went off in Manchester, destroying much of the city centre and severely damaging an ancient building called The Corn Exchange.

I only recently discovered that the old Corn Exchange building had been built by Dr John Dee, the famous English occultist, during his stay in Manchester.

June 16th might be a day I gloss over in my LJ posts once in a while. But I never, ever forget.
