Platt Fields Park
Looking towards the Skate Park and the BMX Track.
The Platt Fields estate was purchased by Manchester Corporation for public use in 1907 following a local campaign. The park was landscaped and a lake created by unemployed labour during the hard winter of 1908-1909. Platt Fields Park, was formally opened on 7 May 1910 by the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Sir Charles Behrens. The Main Lake was provided with a large boat house and wood covered slipway. It housed not only a fleet of large, clinker built rowing boats and skiffs but also a fine motor launch, the Archie Littlemore, which gave rides during the summer months.
A full list of the park's facilities and further information can be found on the website of the Friends of Platt Fields: http://www.plattfields.org/stuff.htm

Holy Innocents, Fallowfield
One of the few Anglican churches dedicated to the Holy Innocents: these were the children slain by King Herod. The church was built between 1870-72, architects Price & Linklater, on land given by Lord Egerton. The style is Gothic revival and its construction is of sandstone masonry. The tower is topped by an octagonal spire, added around 1880 and the stained glass windows are mostly of the 1890's.
