Lost and forgotten streets of Manchester nu 28 ............... two for one

Now I am coming to the end of the series, but I couldn’t close without offering up some of Richard’s pictures of more of the back streets of the city.

Like me he has been attracted to these often narrow places which long ago lost their residents and are pretty much now dominated by the backs of buildings and used as a short cut.

So here are the first two of a few.

No need for words I will just let Richard’s pictures, do the business adding his commentary.

The first “is this is beautiful almost untouched business front on Richmond Street behind Canal Street" and the second “Little Ancoats Street which is rather lovely in its own way too. 

Just near the old post office on Newton Street. Tiny little streets, very evocative of old city spacing.”

Which just leaves me to ponder on the bricked up cellar window in the second picture and what stories it might hold.
