River Irwell, New Bridge Street
The red-brick building behind the bridge is the grade II-listed former parcel sorting office, now converted for residential use. The tower block is called the "Tempus Tower"; it appears to be linked to the former sorting office.

Manchester Exchange Station
View eastwards on Platform 3, towards Victoria Station and Yorkshire destinations. Exchange was the ex-London & North Western Station, adjoining the ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire Victoria Station and connected to it by a very long extension of Platform 11 of the latter. This was a Summer Saturday, when the two stations were particularly busy; moreover in 1960 they were also handling much of the Piccadilly Station's traffic while the latter was being rebuilt for electrification. The train on the left (Platform 4), headed by a BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0, is the 15.15 to Huddersfield and Bradford; the train entering, with a 'Jubilee' class 4-6-0, was heading west (or north). Exchange Station was half destroyed in the Blitz in December 1940 and was closed in May 1969.
