IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Oxford Road, MANCHESTER, M13 9GP

The shopping centre built as part of Wilson & Womersley's large development for the University of Manchester, 1970-72. Behind the glass tent-like roofs is the back of the block pictured here Image During my time as a student here in 1985-88, it was thriving, but it since appears to have hit hard times. Most of the shops were empty. Delta Travel was there in my time, but only their signage remains. Natwest was still there, but the adjacent food outlet, very handy for chips between Maths lecturers, now cruelly tempts students when it offers nothing more than faded pictures.

This University of Manchester building was a conspicuous feature on the map and in reality, as it spanned the busy Oxford Road. Demolished in 2015 - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkp8k-qnptk

Buildings on Oxford Road.

The iconic, 46-year-old precinct centre bridge over Oxford Road (see Image] ) has been taken down and the end of the precinct is being demolished prior to being reconfigured to create up to 14 units with glazed frontages onto Oxford Road. The link bridge was removed to improve views and increase light levels. The work is taking place as part of Manchester University’s £50m redevelopment of Manchester Business School. https://www.placenorthwest.co.uk/news/oxford-road-bridge-demolition-begins-next-week/#sthash.tdtcUzN6.dpuf

Saint Peter's House sits tucked into a corner, atop a flight of steps to the left of this photograph, beside the University Bridge on Oxford Road. It is home to St. Peter's Church and Chaplaincy which is sponsored by the Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, and United Reformed Church denominations. In the foreground is The Love Bee Image by Nisha Grover. Behind it is a more permanent public sculpture consisting of a mirror ball and an inverted mirrored cone. These were erected between 2012 and 2014 but so far I have been unable to obtain further information about them.
