Don't know where it is (ladybarn - that is, not Manchester).

The only ones thrown up on multimap are in Scotland (2) and Buckinghamshire.


What's it near/area is it in?

Oh, I see now.

"Ladybarn" is one of the halls of residence at Fallowfield.

http://www.accommodation.man.ac.uk/universityresidences/fallowfieldcampus/ladybarnhouse/

Clear directions from the M67 on this website as well.

Easiest way is get onto the M1 Northbound.
Come off at the Junction A616 and follow the signs to Manchester.
Before Manchester you will reach the M67.
From there follow the instructions on the website.

They take you to the Central Campus on Oxford Road.
Fallowfield & Ladybarn are further down Oxford Road/Wilmslow Road seen in green on this map:

Seriously, you can double that time if going at certain times of the day. Weekend you should be fine.
