In September 2003, streets in Manchester's Northern Quarter were turned into an imaginary version of New York for the filming of 'Alfie', a remake of the 1960's classic.

To see parallels between Manchester and another American city, go to the exhibition 'Dtroit' at Urbis www.urbis.org.uk in Manchester.

This part of Manchester looked amazingly convincing as New York. For many years I have been pointing out the parallels between Manchester and New York. I wasn't involved in the film - This photo was taken after shooting was completed before the props were taken down.
