VDB - That first picture of Manchester featuring Castlefield in the foreground. I attended a supper club at The Box Works in Castlefields a couple of weeks ago ( an Urban Splash warehouse/apartment conversion). However, we arrived and departed in the dark - and so I could get no sense of perspective as to its location and surrounding - except that I could see trains passing by the window.

Can you or any one else identify The Box Works, or its approximate location, on that photograph for me please?

You see Pamona docks? (the canal and barren wasteland) go to the very right of the canal as far as you can see, then go down about 1 cm then go left about 1 cm and I'm fairly sure thats the boxworks.

Thanks; I'll have a go at identifying where you mean.

london from the cable car on saturday. must go back when it's sunset...

a little tip for people is the shard only momentarily appears between the towers of canary wharf, apart from that it's barely visible.

Not sure where this was taken, the apartment blocks at Priddy's Hard probably.



A view from Admiralty Tower



Also from Admiralty, the squat pink-brown office block on the left is the planned site of our 120m 'Shard'.



Again from Admiralty to the City Centre.



This is definitely from Priddy's.

Was that taken in 1900?

[levaniX]

Cars are too modern for 1900, aren't they?

[ill tonkso]

Where in Manc is that? Looks a Fratton in Pompey, but redder.

[MancKnight]

[jrb]

You need to work on your sarcasm detection. Unless you were being sarcastic, then I need to.
