Sometimes you come across a picture which is not just a record of an event, but offers up so much more.
So here we are with an unnamed building somewhere in the heart of the city going through the last stages of its demolition.
Most of the fittings have gone, and along with one whole side of the building, exposing all that is left.
Fireplaces appear suspended in midair, empty doorways lead no where and even the act of walking across a floor is no longer possible
Location; Manchester

With the steel pillars holding each floor I don't imagine this to be a domestic building but more likely offices or hotel....
