SJ8397 : Corner of Oxford Street and Lower Mosley Street, Manchester city centre
taken 13 years ago, near to Manchester, England
Corner of Oxford Street and Lower Mosley Street, Manchester city centre
The large open area to the left had been the site of a large but shabby 1960s office building. By this point all that remained were a few heaps of rubble. A new development - the unimaginatively named One St Peter's Square is to rise in its place.
SJ8397 : Mills across the water Building on the right is a modern pastiche. I looked at this early in 2008 and realised it for what it was quite quickly. There is an excellent complex of converted mills in this corner. Just as important as Ancoats.
