Secret gardens of Welford Street (west)
The secret gardens in the back alleys of Welford Street have existed for many years, but were limited to permanent structures, difficult to steal or vandalise. The regeneration of Charlestown resulted in Welford Street's alley gates, which allowed an existing gardening community to flourish, particularly to the west end of the street.

Irwell Valley, Salford
The location of the former Irwell Valley campus of the University of Salford, on Blandford Road, Salford, in Greater Manchester, England.
The building that was once here dated back to 1962, when it opened up as the Cromwell Secondary School for Girls. I understand it was later rebranded as the Irwell Valley High School. It must have changed hands around the turn of the millennium, as the University of Salford housed its art and design programme here between 2001 and 2007/2008. The building was identified for closure by the university, and in 2009 demolition began.
In this photo the university's welcome sign still remains, but the building is gone.
