Piccadilly Tower (2)

Continuing photos from the work being carried out adjacent to Store Street, Manchester from May – September 2008.

My previous photos from March 2008 & May 2008 are here.

Additionally, I have found some old photos on the Manchester City Council website. The first from 1977 is similar to my first photo from March 2008, the second an aerial view from 1926 showing what was once on top of the now demolished arched row structure (the left centre square warehouse still exists in the 2008 photos above) and the third shows the demolition of the goods yard from 1966 (the building to the right is the same building on the left of all the 2008 photos above).

Spare Paint?

The Nottingham City Council cycle lane painters have been busy in Chilwell. I guess that no-one has ever used this cycle lane – mainly as it pointlessly loops 180 degrees but also as it comes out of a minor residential side road.

Size Matters

This was the best (most amusing) / worst (shortest parking space) i’ve had the misfortune of parking in. The car stuck out almost 1.5m from the end of the bays… so I used 2 bays.

Arrrgh!

Methinks Northern Rail are recruiting drivers from outside the profession these days. Maybe there be lots of booty to be pillaged on the railways for a pirate driver?!

Bug of the Week #26

This little bug arrived in the post today. He must have got tired flying all the way from Cumbria where he promotes Streetsafe in Barrow-in-Furness to Northampton, I suppose Kettering as well before deciding he should take it easy by travelling in the post back up north. I managed to grab a photo of him whilst he was resting in the garden…
