Now, it has been five years since Andy wandered down Hulme Hall Road, and began recording the sad fate of the warehouse which had been damaged by fire, and was eventually demolished.
And Andy being Andy, then began regularly revisiting the site, photographing first the demolition, then the moment the builders broke ground on the new development, and the slow rise of the new building.
Yesterday he was back on what might be one of his last visits. The building seems complete and with a nod to the history of the site the developers have included a little bit of its history a on a plaque.
But not content with taking pictures of the property Andy also took a few of the Duke’s Canal which I rather liked.
