Manchester Haulage Office, Trafford

A disused office, left in a hurry. Strewn with files, office furniture, and slides of haulage crates... 







Liverpool Warehousing Company, Trafford



On Trafford Park Road there are two huge warehouses built in 1925 and 1932 for the Liverpool Warehousing Company.  The company operated from 70 Pall Mall in Liverpool and for many years they were the largest firm of warehouse keepers in the UK with cotton as their predominant commodity.

St Philip's Churches, Miles Platting, Manchester

St Philip's Cemetery: 

Opened 1866
Manchesters first municipal cemetery
Covers 19 hectares
Awarded a green flag in 2010

A builder had purchased two of the three churches in St Philip's Cemetery, near Manchester City Stadium. He was in the process of renovating the structures, ready to turn them into family homes, but kindly allowed me in to take photographs. I accessed the third, completely derelict church myself.









I liked the idea of these churches being renovated, rather than left to decay beyond repair.

Ladybarn Coach House

I say coach house... who knows? I can't find any information on this building; it just sits in Ladybarn, minding its own business. Very strange.
