Aftermath

I will post some more of my old family photos for those who asked but I couldn't let the Manchester riots go past without documenting it. I went into town before work today, to have a look at what those yobs did to my city and to take some shots. I feel, more than I ever have done in my life, that I'm living through real history. The riots of 2011 are going to be talked about for years to come I'm sure.

This is one of the worst affected buildings, a shop called Miss Selfridge. They have burnt it all out and smashed every window. It makes me so angry! Luckily the streets have been calm for the last two nights though.
