When I see pictures of what was once there I feel angry. This could have been built on the outskirts. We would have had our own Shambles centred around pubs like the demolished Boars Head. Such a shame this oversized toilet was built.
It's horrific and as the rest of mcr improves it looks worse by comparison. Possibly a shame the IRA didn't put a couple of pounds more in the back of that truck.
i work piccadilly gardens and hate the place
There was a theory that the Special Branch/government new the bomb was there but let it explode so that money would have to be spent on the area.
They have at least acknowledged that this is the one bit of town that needs work and are doing something about it in the next few years, at least according to a recent consultation. Bus stop being moved, the wall pulled down etc.
hope that’s a joke cos it ain’t funny.

Im a member of an fb group , cheadle hulme memories. The village was stunning in the 50s. Then in the 60s it was ripped to bits, beautiful old buildings torn down to be replaced bt the ‘modern’ precinctThe 1960’s was the beginning of a sharp decline, you’re absolutely right.
The Arndale is god awful. I go in every lunch time and I just despair at a lot of the people in there and the whole place really.
It’s almost an epicentre of the West’s trash culture.
