Moving the Cenotaph
As part of the major redevelopment of the St Peter's Square area, the Grade II* listed Cenotaph has been surrounded by scaffolding and is being dismantled.
The war memorial will be relocated from its current island site between the St Peter's Square Metrolink platform and Mosley Street to a new spot opposite the Cooper Street entrance of the Town Hall.
The cenotaph will be put into storage for cleaning and restoration work to be carried out before it is reinstated in its new location in time for the annual Remembrance Sunday service in the autumn.
The Town Hall extension is the large building behind the Metrolink tram.
One of the city's pigeons has taken to the street to view the work.
