Summary
| Description |
English: Looking across Piccadilly Gardens in the days when the area really was "gardens", complete with flower beds and seats. Compare this with the modern view which, being kind, could be described as "a green space"; a grassed area which is fine when dry, but can resemble a muddy swamp in wet weather.
Piccadilly has been a focal point in the city of Manchester for generations. Prior to 1910, the site which later became Piccadilly Gardens was occupied by The Manchester Royal Infirmary. When the Infirmary was demolished, it was originally planned to build a new art gallery on the site but this plan didn’t come to fruition and in the end a sunken garden was created with a wide promenade around the statues. This is the approximate view represented in L.S. Lowry's 1954 painting, Piccadilly Gardens. |
