Picture: Abandoned construction site by Mancunian Way Manchester » Filename: MancWayAbandCnst8213.jpg

This construction site next to the Mancunian Way near Manchester city centre has been abandoned for some time. This is how it looked on 13 February 2008. The concrete pillars and floors of the partly-completed building, as well as a crane, have been abandoned, presumably due to the collapse of a company.

It is strange to see abandoned construction sites in Manchester. I remember seeing many of them in Greece in the 1980s. But this scene would appear to be a sign of the times. Hopefully the building will be completed at a later date.
