Victorian Gothic Street Scene, Manchester

3 October 2019 · Manchester

A sandstone boundary wall runs the length of the pavement as pedestrians move past in both directions, indifferent to the Victorian Gothic stonework behind them. The red-brick tower rises above the tree canopy in the background, partly obscured, partly announced. Overcast autumn light flattens the scene into something quieter than the architecture deserves — the stone holds its weight regardless.
