I collect bus shelters, along with old GPO telephone kiosks, cast iron coal hole covers, and the odd disused lamp post.

And some are now an endangered bit of our street furniture.
So that is why I collect bus shelters, and this one I have to say deserves a special place in the collection.
I like its slightly curved shape, and its jumble of busy signs.
It stands outside the entrance to Manchester Piccadilly Railway Station.
And because I can, here to finish off is another bus shelter, which was located on Parker Street beside Piccadilly Gardens from 1960.
