Derelict Cafeteria, Alexandra Park, Moss Side

This cafeteria is situated opposite some tennis courts. Once a cool retreat for the users of the park, paying witness in its design to a more genteel age, the structure had been abandoned to the ravages of the weather, nature and local teenagers. Extraordinary though it may seem, a bull used to be kept behind this cafeteria, with a ring in its nose. This was a fearsome sight for young children and I cannot account for this. Someone loved "Chantelle 97"? Taken at 8 a.m.
