Epping Walk Bridge

A fairly bland bridge...but world famous!

 

Often referred to as "the Joy Division bridge".

 

Hulme, Manchester, England.

 

When "the" photo was taken in 1979 by Kevin Cummins, mobile (cell) phones being owned by pretty much everyone wasn't a thing. The mast has appeared since of course and I thought it might make a submission for the Telegraph Tuesday Flickr group HTT!

 

No attempt to recreate Kevin's photo here. Apart from a 'nod' with the monochrome aspect.

 

Two of my favourite cover versions of all time are of Joy Division songs. New Dawn Fades by Moby and Shadowplay by The Killers (who we were fortunate to see in Manchester last year).
