Now it has been over a couple of years since I was last on Greengate, and the development on either side is all but finished.
All a lot different from when this was a building site and Greengate was closed off to traffic at the Chapel Street end.
And even more different from when the corner by the railway bridge had a number of small shops, which many will remember with affection.
I could go on, but I have written about the place in the past and no doubt there will be plenty of people who will chime in with their own memories, stories and pictures.*
So these two are all for today but with an option on more from the past tomorrow.

I feel sorry for the pigeons, where are they all going to shelter now?
ReplyDeleteLet's face it. Manchester is not pigeon friendly anymore.
