Interesting that - I always knew it as the Ardwick Hippodrome. Lived in Longsight and every Christmas my family took me to the pantomime -late 40's early 50's. or alternately to the Circus at Belle Vue on Boxing Day.
In those days the Apollo was an ABC cinema seating about 2,000. - as big as the Odeon on Oxford Street. Happy days.

There was/is the Hulme Hippodrome iirc.

Aah the Hulme Hippodrome - I used to go there on Tuesday nights in the 60's to watch them record Pop North with Dave Lee Travis as the compere in his 30's gangster suit and in his 30's gangster car

I remember The Move throwing electric bananas into the audience - vibrators LOL

Great music and the great Mercer/Allison City team - Brilliant times

The Ardwick Hippodrome just before it was demolished

I have it on very good authority that Wetherspoons main reason for acquiring the Gateway from Hydes was for the long term tourist potential of that bridge ;-)

It's far from random. It's the original template for the bridge linking the academy to the stadium (one of architect Raphael Vinoly's earlier projectc in the Parrs Wood Quarter of the City).

What the F**K is the Parrs Wood Quarter of the City!!!!

Its Parrs Wood. End of. Its not a quarter. And its not in the City either.

And that bridge has been there as long as I can ever remember - so at least 30 years

Any chance someone can put pictures on of the bridge now its daylight?
