Manchester City Centre Street Scene, Autumn

3 October 2019 · Manchester

A worker in a high-visibility jacket walks along a Manchester city centre road on an overcast autumn day. The double yellow lines trace the kerb toward a Victorian clock tower framed between office blocks and a glass tower — the city's older bones visible through its newer ones. Mixed-era architecture lines both sides of the street: brutalist concrete to the left, red brick and Portland stone to the right, all under the same flat grey sky.
