Manchester at night
I was struck by the facade of this building. It is ornate, and lettered "Manchester & Salford Street children's mission".
What a difference a century and a bit makes. We still have charities to care for the homeless and abandoned, but they do not proclaim themselves in art nouveau exuberance like this.
The building now houses a health spa of some sort.

Wood Street Children's Mission, Manchester
A full history of the charity can be found on their website: http://www.woodstreetmission.org.uk/Who-we-are/History.aspx
Briefly, Alfred Alsop founded the Mission in 1869 to help the children of Manchester's slums. They distributed clothing, opened a soup kitchen, provided Christmas presents, organised holidays etc. etc. Wood Street is a very narrow street at the side of the John Rylands Library on Deansgate. The charity is still very active today.
