Manchester Construction Work November 2018

A year ago I took these shots of Angel Gardens, near the CIS building, and developments on Great Ancoats St. I dropped back into the area this weekend to get some updated pictures on the building sites. The construction industry has taken a big hit due to the recession, and it shows: a lot of these buildings are still under construction. I revisited them to see how things have changed. The answer: not much.

I also shot some around the Witworth St area, and returned to these too. What's happening? Well, the same buildings are still under construction. I'd swear Beetham tower got whipped up in a few months in 2006.

Down Oxford Road I found Hatch, a cross between the Arndale Food Court and the refugee camp in Scarface (1983). But okay, trendier than both.

Further down: the new university campuses.

'Extinction Rebellion' protest on Deansgate, re the government's inaction on climate change. So they held up traffic, resulting in more carbon emmission.

Right.
