Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our sightseeing tour. We're in front of the railway station now. In front of us you can see New Bridge and next to it the railway bridge. But we won't cross this bridge, because we're turning left into Riverside Walk. On our right now you can see the River Raddle and the large building on the left is Pendie Palace. This was built in 1756. In front of the palace is the Pendie Monument and behind the palace is a large zoo. We've just been over Cannon Bridge and we're now in Brook Street. On the left you can see the City Museum and straight ahead is St Bernard's Cathedral. The small building next to the cathedral is the oldest building in the city. It's now the Westland Bank. Now we're going along Manchester Road. Straight ahead is Victory Fountain in William Square. Now we're going round the square into Hill Street, and towards Green Park. In the park you will see the Black Tower on top of the hill. This was built in the twelfth century. We have turned right and we're now in Preston Street. The big building on the left is the city's largest shop, Hambridge's. Now we've turned into Raddle Street. In front of us you can see Old Market Square next to the river. We will stop here for an hour and you can do some shopping.
