Public footpath, Demesne Road to Princess Road, Whalley Range/Moss Side
This footpath which joins Demesne Road to Princess Road and runs alongside Alexandra Park was under threat of closure in the earlier part of the 20th century. Local people fought a campaign to keep the footpath open and were successful. Had it been closed, a major detour to the south or to the north would have been needed for pedestrians when the park was locked up for the night. The grounds to the right were owned by the YMCA in the second half of the 20th century which had a major building nearby.

Demesne Road, Whalley Range, Alexandra Park, end of footpath, facing west
The strong early morning sunlight throws dramatic shadows across the sandstone flagstones. This part of Demesne Road had been fenced off, no doubt for some redevelopment work to take place.

School Yard, Bishop Bilsborrow Memorial School, Moss Side
The school yard at the north side of the school used to be larger, but another building was erected within it, possibly for sport? The large tower at the rear of the yard was apparently attached to the old bus station, which is to the left. However, the function of this tower building is not known, nor is the reason for the very tall chimney. This school yard environment is somewhat desolate and impoverished and it may have affected the imagination of the young Anthony Burgess, who was a pupil at the school. He later wrote "A Clockwork Orange". The school was demolished in 2011. Also see Image] Image] Image] Image]
