Inspired Sundays: Hidden gem


St Mary's is known as the Hidden Gem. This Catholic church in Manchester city centre was probably one of the dominant buildings in the vicinity when built in the 1790s, but developments around it led to it being tucked away in what became a back street. I posted a close up 20 months ago. Taking part in the Inspired Sunday meme.

  7. I like that very much. Somehow, the fact that it's a little hemmed in makes it more interesting.

  8. I'm sure at one point, it was the dominating building in the area. It may be tucked away, but it is great that it is still standing. that Church has witnessed so much history since it was built.
