St Peters Church in 1997 is a
derelict shell. Looking at the tower you might think it has a flat
pyramid shape like St Thomas's Church Ardwick but after restoration we
see that it had, and has now regained, a tall roof. Things have changed
in the space of eight years: The building on the left has disappeared,
along with many smaller buildings in Ancoats. New lamp posts shaped
like the number '4' have been added. St Peters Church is now secure on
the oustide but still empty on the inside. A new use has yet to be
confirmed.
EWN says: I don't like the design of the new lampposts as it is not in
keeping with the existing character of the area.
