Manchester Bees, Oldham Street

The Manchester Bees mural is on the side of the Koffee Pot cafe and takeaway on Oldham Road in the Northern Quarter of Manchester.

This beautiful mural is a tribute to the 22 victims of the Manchester Arena bombing.

Murdered but never forgotten. Rest in Peace.

Sadly the progression of time moves forward and the car park is now under development so if you want to see this one, move your backsides as there is no guarantee you’ll be able to see it like this for much longer.

This area of the Northern Quarter is full of great street art.
