Pedestrians cross Corporation St at the junction with Market St on 17 May 2004. Further along Corporation St is the new bridge built to replace the old one destroyed in the 15 June 1996 bomb.


View this location in 1992

Interesting to compare the same view taken around 12 years earlier. Today the buildings are more hi-tech, and the street is narrower. Since this view was captured, all buses have been removed from this section of Corporation St apart from the small city centre buses.
