Greenery and mystery adorn the entrances to the City Art Gallery with deckchairs, vintage benches and shabby shrubbery all proclaiming the lost gardens of Manchester.
Inside and out the gallery celebrates 4 centuries of gardeming "...bountiful orchards of Shudehill from 1753, the palatial glasshouses and grounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens at Old Trafford and the Belle Vue Zoological gardens which were both at their peak in the mid Victorian era; all set against the historic architecture of the building to create stunning spaces for visitors to sit and enjoy".
Tying in today to "T" at ABC Wednesday.
I hope to see more photos from this place. Sounds interesting!

Looks like a great place to walk around and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'd be there for sure Chrissy. I've always had a love of old gardens, new gardens too :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind a walk around, Chrissy.
