Walk from :
Latitude:N 53° 28' 53.062"
Longitude:W 2° 17' 22.5528"
down Regent Road, Ordsall Lane
A
busy shortcut into town, this was an empty wasteland for a long time
and now, like almost everything else it is being redeveloped.
before
they dug up this spot I found this awesome piece of art there last
year, sadly it has been mown down for the new buildings, I have no idea
who did it or why but it was such a nice thing where now there's only
rubble.

| Lower Turks Head Pub, Shudehill |
Then
Piccadilly Gardens where there's always something interesting going on, in one way or another.
Then up Tib Street and round about a bit
I couldn't imagine the NQ without Tim's ubiquitous blue signage and Lemn Sissay's street poems, it would be slightly weird.

Street corner, Almost Famous
To High street >
Shudehill and a pint in the
Lower Turks Head where there were, as always, very interesting conversations to be heard.
Overheard in the pub:
"Well, the wife's died now so I'm off to Vegas, aren't I!"
"Because I smelled a bit like a pot noodle, didn't I?"
1 man - "I can't eat soup, me"
2nd man "I've got a few soups in"
