“The gods made a bridge to heaven from earth, which is called #Bifröst… Yet it will break when Muspell’s sons ride out & the horses of the gods shall swim great rivers.”

‘Hell upon Earth” is how Friedrich Engels described Manchester’s Angel Meadow. This violent, squalid, disease-ridden district was one of the worst slums the revolutionary German thinker encountered on his tour of Victorian England. Everything about the place, he wrote in 1844, “arouses horror and indignation”.

Visiting today, he might be tempted to use the same words, for very different reasons. On either side of the leafy park, which undulates over the graves of 40,000 Victorian paupers, the bulky concrete frames of new apartment blocks are beginning to rise. They will ultimately become 17-22-storey slabs that will in turn be dwarfed by a 41-storey tower,'Manc-Hattan' poster, from Uniquely Manchester https://uniquelymanchester.co.uk/products/retro-poster-art-manc-hattan

Beetham Tower, Manchester, at night.

Last night, I waited 20 minutes for a bus that was either 13 minutes late or the next bus bang on time.
While bored at the bus stop, I snapped a littler cousin of Manchester's current tallest building and the disgruntled former title holder.
