087 Gorton Moo-nastery


Mr Monkey in front of a golden cow The head of a gold cow with sequins around its eye

Location : Eastlands ASDA, near the checkouts at the end furthest from Alan Turing Way
Date viewed : 2 September

Mr Monkey hadn't realised that there ever was a monastery in Gorton, but apparently is, and there's a Monastery of St Francis and Gorton Trust who are trying to have it restored to its 1861 glory. The cow has faded pictures architectural details of the monastery on it's back, and little patterns of sequins all over, but they don't show up at all well in the photos.
