It was created in 1985 and closed just 28 years later.
I have to say it was somewhere I usually just passed through, but on a warm summer’s afternoon as the trees matured it was a pleasant place to sit and watch the city pass by.
Some will point to the noise from the traffic and the litter which was deposited by passers by but it was just coming into its own as the plans were formulated to bring the Second City Crossing through the garden and re-site the Cenotaph in front of the Town Hall.
And now it has gone.
Location; Peace Garden, Mosley Street, Princess Street, Manchester
