Manchester

10 June 15        A wander around town, mainly to have a look at the First Street development which
opened recently, then on to Salford Quays to see if there was anything happening.  Sunny.

Whitworth Street is closed with this steel structure dumped in the middle of the road.

It's a temporary support for the new staircase about to be
installed here, for the Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop.

Newly painted and refurbished Exibition Bridge, which links
the Metrolink tram stop with Deansgate railway station.
