International Anthony Burgess Foundation review Rate it
The Foundation opened in 2010 as a repository for a vast collection of Burgess ephemera, from the author's musical instruments and typewriters to his manuscripts and library. The city's most famous author is perhaps also its most infamous - a love-hate relationship evident on both sides.
'As a piece of civic planning, or rather unplanning, I think it's terrible,' he once said of the city - and yet Burgess remained proud of his northern roots. The Foundation also hosts regular cultural events, and has a decent café.
