Fabulous compared to now
By the time I was going to Manchester in the early to mid 90's it was an absolute shithole. It does look better than now on that photo though.

I used to work on portland st 93-96 and passed through the gardens daily, the gardens were still well kept benches were tatty and fountain never on mind but wasn't a shithole to me, used to sit on the benches at lunch sometimes ,it was just full of little scrotes mugging people and winos though.
Pccadilly plaza was fucking dire and rotten though
No underground market, no Robinson's Records, no Paperchase, no Odeon on Oxford Rd (not even in the Printworks any more), no Brentford Nylons on the corner of Piccadilly and Portland St, no Piccadilly Radio reception in the bottom of the Piccadilly Hotel in the Plaza; the list goes on, and on, and on.....Manchester has been ruined over the last few decades. Compared to now? There isn't a comparison - just the starkest of contrasts.
No Cannon Street, London Road Station has morphed into Piccadilly, It's not even in Piccadilly. And whereTF has Exchange Station gone? NO Lewis's, no Henry's and the Cinephone? Use to catch the 109 outside the Cinephone.
No Tommy Ducks either. One of those photos shows the back of the pub.No underground market, no Robinson's Records, no Paperchase, no Odeon on Oxford Rd (not even in the Printworks any more), no Brentford Nylons on the corner of Piccadilly and Portland St, no Piccadilly Radio reception in the bottom of the Piccadilly Hotel in the Plaza; the list goes on, and on, and on.....
