As the city developed, so did the University, indeed the economic value of the education industries to the city was becoming very apparent. Whilst the darkened Georgian terrace sits in shadow, all of the new buildings bathe in bright sunlight. Whilst many of these images are part of a ‘survey’, it is images like this that show the photographers as unable to detach themselves from their art. Not only is the message of the ‘new’ exuded here, but the Precinct Centre at the fore, its diagonally sloping ramp leading the eye toward the vertical rhythm of the Kilburn Building, which in turn gives way to the strong volumes of Scherrer + Hicks’ Maths Tower, is definitely not a shot without consideration.

The curved timber canopies at Manchester Oxford Road are a delight as well as providing the station with character. This view, looking towards Manchester Piccadilly is also notable for the terracotta clock tower in the background; this was once the Refuge Assurance building, which has since been converted to a hotel. Approaching the station is TransPennine Class 185 No. 185106 which is operating with another unidentified Class 185 DMU forming 1N64 1429 Manchester Airport-Blackpool North & Barrow-in-Furness. The train will separate at Preston and proceed to their respective destinations.
