In the 1996-97 academic year, Nick Maffei, Computer Studies Instructor at City College of San Francisco, was selected to participate in a Fulbright Teacher Exchange. Nick exchanged classes with IT Instructor, Peter Goulden of City College Manchester, England. This is an account of that exchange. |
August 1996 | ||
Peter and Catherine Goulden's house in Heaton Moor where I lived during my first month in England. It is actually two attached houses with a brick wall and hedges - typical of British houses. Photo on the right is their backyard. Their two cats are hiding in the bushes somewhere. | ||

Manchester City
Center with a view of Piccadilly Gardens on a quiet Sunday morning.
The red brick building is the University of Manchester Science &
Technology. The building on far right had all its windows blown
out, the result of an IRA bomb in July 1996, one month before I
arrived in Manchester. (Click to see Manchester City Center in 2007) |

My apartment at 61 Clyde Road, is on the right in the back of the building, behind the red dumpster. The back stairs lead to my studio apartment. | ||

ceilings. My neighbors are University of Manchester faculty and
students, mostly from India & Pakistan. No closet. Only small wadrobe. |
