Alexandra Park Lake, Moss Side
The ornamental lake in Alexandra Park always had a population of ducks and swans. It is also used by fishing enthusiasts, who probably exercise some control over the potential excesses of deliquents.

Derelict Cafeteria, Alexandra Park, Moss Side
This cafeteria is situated opposite some tennis courts. Once a cool retreat for the users of the park, paying witness in its design to a more genteel age, the structure had been abandoned to the ravages of the weather, nature and local teenagers. Extraordinary though it may seem, a bull used to be kept behind this cafeteria, with a ring in its nose. This was a fearsome sight for young children and I cannot account for this. Someone loved "Chantelle 97"? Taken at 8 a.m.

Derelict Cafeteria, Alexandra park, Moss Side
The sorry state of the old cafeteria, with its wrought iron supports, seems more pronounced in the quiet sunlight of the early morning.

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.

Footpath around the lake, Alexandra Park
The original design of the park still survives, but many of the amenities and buildings have disappeared. The lake is the main survivor.
