| We met up with Chris Gill, the drummer from Inspiral Carpets, in Manchester, UK to give us a Tour about The Smiths/Moz. |
 |
| So Strangeways is a Prison! It is a grand victorian prison Morrissey mentions in Strangeways, Here We Come. |
 |
| Chris Gill from Inspiral Carpets talking to us about Strangeways Prison |
 |
 |
| Chris told us about the Strangeway prison riots that took place there in 1990 which made the prison infamous. |
 |
| Here is us! Mike and Jen |
 |
 |
| Here is Mike in front of the Salford Lads Club made iconic from the Queen Is Dead Album cover. |
 |
| Chris took a lot of pics of us here |
 |
| Inside the Salford Lads Club we found stuff that fans had sent there hoping the Smiths would get it like above |
 |
| Also inside the Salford Lads Club there was a Shrine to the Smiths |
 |
| 384 Kings Rd Morrissey's childhood home. Johnny Marr came here in 1982 looking to form a band with Morrissey. Morrissey had a reputation for being a sort of poet/writer/singer. They spent a lot of time writing songs in his room. |
 |
| Morrissey's old neighborhood |
 | |
| The Iron Bridge- This bridge is near Morrissey's old home. He crossed it every day he went to school which he despised. The bridge is mentioned in the single 'Still Ill'- "Under the iron bridge we kissed, even though we ended up with sore lips". |
 |
| The Southern Cemetery is where Morrissey used to meet his friend Linder Sterling "A dreaded sunny day so I meet you at the cemetery gates..." from Cemetery Gates on The Queen Is Dead album. |
