This is one of those pictures I usually just pass over, but today it deserves to come out into the light.
I was on St Ann’s Street, looking into Barton Street.
There, in the distance is the dome of the Barton Arcade, and the twisty nature of Barton Street is clear to see.
But the corner building to the left and the low rise one just beyond have been replaced and that has changed ever so slightly the configuration of this side street, which has also lost the interesting businesses on the right.
