Manchester Pride, 2012
An S-type Jaguar carrying Cuban diva Margarita Pracatan rounds the corner from Princess Street into Whitworth Street. Part of the 2012 Manchester Pride parade. Manchester Pride is the current name of the annual Gay Pride festival held Manchester. The event began in the second half of the 1980's as a jumble sale outside the Rembrandt Hotel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_Pride ). It is one of the longest running in the country and attracts thousands of visitors to the city's Gay Village, which centres around Canal Street, each year. The ten-day festival culminates in "The Big Weekend", a 72-hour party in Canal Street and the surrounding area over the August bank holiday weekend. The Manchester Pride Parade is the highlight of the Big Weekend and the biggest Parade in Manchester! The Parade is promoted as a fun way to celebrate the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in Greater Manchester, the UK and overseas, and to raise awareness of the issues around HIV. More than 100 floats made their way through the city centre, setting off from Deansgate and ending on Whitworth Street at the gay village. The theme for this year’s Manchester Pride Parade is “Queer’d Science”, in honour of “Father of computer science, mathematician, logician, wartime code breaker and victim of prejudice,” Alan Turing. The gay computer pioneer was prosecuted for gross indecency for having relations with another man in 1952, when homosexual acts were illegal in the UK. He died from cyanide poisoning two years later and it was ruled at his inquest that he had committed suicide. A number of charities, venues, public sector bodies, housing authorities, political parties and commercial organisations take part in the parade each year. http://www.manchesterpride.com/parade Manchester Pride Web site http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-19379394 BBC News.

67 Whitworth Street, Manchester
Aka Lancaster House. Even by the standards of Manchester's imposing former warehouses, this is breathtakingly, er, imposing, with its remarkable corner turret extending in four stages above the rest of the building (Image]). Otherwise it is a characteristic combination of brick and orange terracotta. Built 1905-10. Grade II* listed. One of several massive steel-framed former Lloyds packing warehouses in the area, all by Harry S. Fairhurst, and all now offices or flats. Pevsner notes that Lloyds "was formed in 1896 and within thirty years was packing and despatching one third of foreign cotton trade in Lancashire".
