Leading out of West Openshaw into Lower Openshaw and onto Clayton Lane.

The Fox Tavern, Clayton Lane, Openshaw. Closed 2003. Situated in a rather neglected area of east Manchester that is now undergoing regeneration on a big scale.

Leading out of Lower Openshaw to West Openshaw.

The original church of St Barnabas in Openshaw dated from 1837. The present church was built in 1961 to replace the original structure which had to be demolished. Constructed of brick, the church has a rectangular nave with short transepts beneath a hipped gull-wing roof. It closed in 2014 when the congregation amalgamated with the Church of the Resurrection http://www.resurrectionstbarnabas.org.uk/about-us/history/ elsewhere in the parish. The burial ground was conveyed to Manchester City Council in 1981. The closed churchyard is now maintained by the local authority as a public open space and some 19th and early 20th century headstones remain in situ.

The burial ground at St Barnabas Image

55 Selby Street, a red-brick terraced house in the Openshaw area of Manchester, England. Such houses are typical of Greater Manchester.

The church is St. Barnabas' and it is located on South Street opposite Dawnay Street in Openshaw. It looks as though it is 1960s modernist style, and it certainly has some interesting geometry if you can see past the razor wire topped wall and the top of the gateposts. This is the best shot I was able to get of this building.

This building replaced a cavernous old one, but this one has been up for at least 40 years. It is now difficult to get a shot from this side due to the trees having grown up.
