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.

Right.
