IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Grosvenor Square, MANCHESTER, M15 6BH

The All Saints Building and Library, part of Manchester Metropolitan University, overlooking All Saints Park, off Oxford Road.

Grosvenor Square was once the burial ground of All Saints Church. The church was demolished after World War II and this pleasant garden remains. The sign on the stone ahead tells us that it was renovated in 1995 by Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) “for the benefit of both its students and the general public”. The sign also reminds us that the park is still regarded as consecrated ground. The area around here is still known as “All Saints”, even though the church has been gone a long time.

Throughout October, in aid of breast cancer awareness Lounge Underwear were touring UK universities in their custom made "Boob Box" giving out free sets of underwear and information to help raise awareness, donations and ultimately contribute to the fight against breast cancer! This one outside Manchester Metropolitan University had a long queue of students waiting to collect their freebies.

All Saints Park, Grosvenor Square is the site of the long-demolished All Saints church. The cranes in the background of this picture are working on expansion to the Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) campus.

I was in Grosvenor Square off Oxford Road and saw what I first thought was a new artwork. However it turns out it was just a temporary display being used in a photoshoot promoting The Pride of Manchester awards which are sponsored by TSB. I was told it was about to be removed in the next ten minutes.
