The cranes of Manchester

Now, it has become a given, that a forest of cranes set against a city backdrop is an indicator that all is going well with the local economy.

Some might gibe that what is rising into the sky will not benefit many who are looking for affordable accommodation in the city and the new developments are a blot on the landscape.

And I have a lot of sympathy with those views, that said Andy Robertson’s picture records how Manchester is changing.
