Today I had the pleasure of a quick walk round the Northern quarter and the gay village in my home city of Manchester.

The photos below are some of the shots I took of the street art and beautiful buildings in these area of the city.

The Halloween hats are outside #Via on Canal Street

Walkies round Ancoats and New Islington, 19/06/21

After Friday night drink fest with Gavin I needed to have a walk and clear my head get some excercise.

I first went to Eastern Bloc for breakfast and was severly disappointed with the service and the food was cold. Been going there for ages and this was a shock.

Next I walked up Tib street and across Ancoats and over to New Islington to meet my friend Monica and we went for a walk together.

Love New Islington as its so nice and new, heres some of my images.

No idea what the program is about but i’m betting its some kind of Karate Kid program.

At the corner of Thomas Street and High Street there are two new murals. The first is the new Manchester City mural (Which is actually a Playstation game advert, Fifa 2021) and a new Burberry mural.

The Manchester City mural replaces the NHS Nurse Mural.

The Burberry mural replaces the Manchester City Mural which is on the side of 31 Thomas Street.

Red Lion Street Mural, off Church Street

A massive mural which spans the entire side of the building and is 4 stories high. This mural on the side of Tattitude/Vape Lounge and depicts two futuristic semi naked women and several people smoking.

Its semi obscured by the fire escape and hasnt been maintained for quite some time and parts arent in good repair but I still think its one of the better murals in the city purely because of its size, detail and striking colours.

This mural is directly next to the Tib street multi storey car park and is litterly a stones throw from Afflecks Palace <3

Hilton House, Port Street in Manchesters Northern Quarter

Like many of the mural locations in Manchester, Hilton House is one of the many location which has a changing mural. This is the third I think.

Port Street is located behind Newton street and if you walk away from Piccadilly gardens down Newton street, Port street is an off shoot side street.

The current mural depicts scenes from the areas Cloth making and preperation which made this area of the city famous.
