Did you get a picture of that dodgy-looking pub on that bit of Collyhurst? Can't remember the name, but you can see if from the bus as you pass on Rochdale Road.
me tea.
The Rovers in a parallel universe?
Shit, jerry built urban splash houses that replaced the Cardroom estate, Ancoats.
Billy Greens on Talgarth Rd? No I didn't. Soz.

That's the one! Always looked rough, especially around St George's Day when the union jack bunting was all over the estate.
Featured on Britains roughest pubs.
Some of that will be exaggerated pub talk. Probably. I wouldn't pull any of them up on it though.
"Round here you're either a footballer, a boxer or a thief"
Houses in Ancoats that used to be maisonettes. Instead of the stairwell being incorporated into the house next door, in this block it's been made into a skinny one-bed house - It's the one that's a different colour and has the porch thing.
Chippenham Court/Saltford Court. they've been like this since 94.
Rochdale canal.
Derelict flats at Ancoats/Beswick.
And again.
People lived here once.
Abandoned too soon? I think so.
It's curtains for you. Net ones.
92 that's what? 21 years. You can tell paint still had lead in it in them days. And markers had xylene in them as well.

Did you spill my pint?
That looks a scary pub. I'll give it a miss I think.

Rochdale canal from Cambrian St.
Me foot.
Drinking in here is like an underwater gang bang in Paris. Or something. Probably.
Curly bird, Bradford Rd M/P. I haven't quite got the bottle to go up to people and just take their pic. It seems somehow underhand. Plus, if someone did it to me I'd loudly denounce them as a paedophile.
Someone's house. I've got a lampshade like that.
Sexy lookin pipes - New Viaduct St.
Someone from levenshulme felt the need to spray "Leve" on this wall. A long time ago by the looks of it.
Extra sexy pipes.

What would Badgers do?
New Viaduct St - Would you walk down here on your own at night?
Espa - This guy gets around. And he's another one who's about my age. Still goes out & destroys things though and you've got to respect that.
Both Ball & Rogers have seen better days.
All the racing giants.
Monsall.
Abandoned street in Monsall that used to sevice this estate...
No messin.

And again.
And once more coz it's where we all end up.
One thing I've noticed taking these pics is how much greenery there is everywhere.
About 15/20 minute walk iirc. Easy enough on the way into town - downhill all the way. Not so good on the way back.
Always seemed to me that wherever you are in Manc there are a *lot* of green spaces.
I think so too - There's the Clough, Heaton park, Blackley forest,Broadhurst fields all within walking distance of mine but what I was more getting at is, even in the pictures I've taken where you could maybe make a case for saying that area looks a bit bleak, there's wild grass and stuff growing out of everything.
Cheers. Going out taking pictures allows me to indulge myself in the delusion that my life's got some sort of purpose
I'm glad when people like em though.

Me and FBM have carved it up between us - He gets town and the nondescript southside places. I get the northside hinterlands where a lesser man's camera might get taxed. I wouldn't have it any other way TBH. Every place I've took pics of means something to me one way or another.

Nice one. The best pics are ones that you have a connection too, I think.
Tomorrow I'm off to Middlesbrough so I will try to get some pictures of where I grew up and whathaveyou. I'm a bit worried about wandering around there taking pics though, as it's especially rough and last time I went there I got accused of being a copper in my old local by all the thugs. Pretty scary.
I'm always para about well, not so much being accused of being a copper coz me wrecked teeth pretty much rule out me being a representative of officer Dibble, but I'm always worried about being accused of being a paedo. Coz if I saw someone taking pictures, I'd be at it "Heeyar mate, what the fuck are you doing? Are you a fucking paedophile or what?" Just for the sheer mischief of it.

Another thing I've noticed is taking pics has kinda give me me mojo back. At one time, all those workplaces I've took pics of, I'd have been in there, having peoples bags away and anything else that wasn't nailed down - I got some right beatings doing that. But I also got some good touches. Somewhere along the line I lost my botttle big time. Doing the pics is slowly giving my bottle back. And I know the red indians say taking someone's picture is to steal their very soul. But it's better to steal someone's soul than their purse?

Not been enough peacocks on this thread imo. Bowland Wild Board Park, somewhere near Chipping. Pleasing for its cafe dedicated to proper fried stuff. Had double free range eggs with a massive portion of chips and white bread and butter for three quid at eleven am on a nice bench near some fucking meercats.

The party scene in Manchester. Classy. At least they are being sensible and drinking some orange juice in between the booze.
