If you’re ever in Manchester, the John Rylands Library mentioned here is one of the local jewels and absolutely worth the visit.

If you are a library connoisseur, there are also Chatham’s (one of the oldest libraries in the land, and likely the oldest dedicated to music), the Pantheon-inspired Central Library, and the elusive (and exclusive) Portico. The Law Library was pretty striking too but sadly they moved and the original building was sold.

This is Manchester, UK, not Manchester, NH nor Manchester, VT.

Yes of course. Afaik there is only one John Rylands Library in the world :)

I already found it frustratingly ambiguous that there could be more than one Manchester in the US, then I checked and it turns out there are more than 30

I don’t remember any examples off-hand, but we have a few town names in Indiana which aren’t even unique within the state, because one of the locations isn’t incorporated.
