Irwell-side apartments
Image: © Jonathan Wilkins Taken: 27 Jun 2010
A large development of apartments on Worrall Street which face, or back onto the River Irwell with its graffiti-rich towpath wall. Support is being shown for the (doomed) English soccer team whose match against Germany kicked off a couple of hours after the image was captured. It is extraordinary how buildings such as this are now sought-after in an area that was utterly derelict in the years following the cessation of trade in the docks.
