Manchester architecture old, new and very new, in a long-view along Whitworth Street West, as Virgin Pendolino 390010 was making its way at walking pace along the brick viaduct of the former Manchester South Junction & Altrincham Railway (MSJ&A) as it was approaching Manchester Oxford Road with the diverted 08.40 Glasgow Central to London Euston service (1M09) on July 27th 2019. The brick apartment building with grey windows on the left of this scene, is stood on the site of the Hacienda club, famous for the Manchester music scene of the 1980's and 1990's.
Capturing a train in right position along here is a nightmare due to posts, gantries and street lights all in the wrong position!
Manchester, Salford and Media City 130523 #1
I parked the car at Deansgate North Q-Park and walked into Cross Street Manchester for a quick look around, window-shopping, before I started on my main business of the morning around the Deansgate 101 building which, I suppose, is possibly Salford rather than Manchester. I paused as I passed through an arcade off Deansgate and took a couple of shots of the elegant interior – and then continued into Cross Street. After some retail therapy, I walked back along New Cathedral Street, through Shambles Square and along the side of Manchester Cathedral before crossing the River Irwell/Tib. Up Cathedral approach Bridge – where I took the photos I’ll be posting tomorrow.

The Tower at the back of the Minshull Street Crown Court, one of the courts in Manchester.
As well as hosting important legal cases, the Minshull Street Crown Court is a great example of classic Manchester architecture.
