Northern Quarter takeover / @NGTakeover
Today, Sunday 26 August, is the Northern Quarter takeover. “18 very individual venues, one unique takeover”. Events on Back Turner Street, Edge Street, High Street and Tib St and Thomas St will include nine hours of music, a street party, a three-legged race, a dog show and a high heeled egg and spoon race, plus more usual events such as busking.
The Marble Arch Brewery is also producing a special beer, a “heavily hopped best bitter” called M4 (the area’s postcode). Northern Quarter visitors and residents (such as those at these flats in and around the old fish market) will have plenty to see and do on their doorstep.

Wow, great shot! I really like that wall - am I correct in assuming it's a saved facade?
ReplyDeleteYes, it's the outer wall of the Fish Market (1863) which had the new apartment blocks built within about 10 years ago.
