Talk:Pseudopolis Yard

Is this a street or a building? If it's a street as Silaor noted, then "interesting facts" section in the article Pseudopolis also needs to be corrected. --Vsl

I checked in "The Streets of Ankh-Morpork", so it is a street. But characters use the name for the street and the building, and I was windering how to put it in "good english" ;)--Silaor 20:50, 19 Oct 2005 (CEST)
Wonderful! I had been confused myself when I read the novels, and I must admit I haven't really looked at my copy of Streets of Ankh-Morpork until tonight. Thank you very much Silaor for the corrections. The English was pretty good. I am going to still edit a bit to add that the Opera House is in the vicinity. And may I be the one to say welcome to the wiki, Silaor :) --Vsl


A possible Roundworld referent

These photos are not of Pseudopolis Yard. They are of a landmark protected building in Central Manchester that used to house the Coroners' Court and Fire Station. They are given here to fire the creative imagination as to what the place might look like.

Actually it's the old Coroner's Court and fire station in central Manchester. But doesn't it just scream at you "Pseudopolis Yard"? This one is in living colour. Perhaps Sam Vimes hired some men or trolls or Golems to scrub the dirt off and bring up the red stone underneath. Or if not he, then Sybil. I may yet Photoshop the image to lose the bus-stop in front and the impossibly smooth modern tarmac road.

The building does, in fact, also encompass a redundant police station that was in use between 1889 and the 1930's.--AgProv 23:54, 8 June 2011 (CEST)
