Manchester, Stevenson Square
Image: © David Dixon Taken: 5 Oct 2015
In the 1960s and 1970s, Stevenson Square was a bustling bus terminus. Now, it all looks sadly run down and dilapidated even though it is only about 250 yards from Piccadilly. Street art has been employed in an attempt to brighten it up with brightly coloured (gaudy) artwork on some of the shutters and on the former toilet block which is used to display street art which is changed every three months and also has a roof garden.
