Friday Bench (20) : Every Street in Manchester

These benches can be found at the end of Every Street in Manchester.

Let me clarify; not every street but the one Every Street that runs between Ashton New Road and Great Ancoats Street.

This "garden" consisting of two benches around a tub of flowers was probably erected in the run-up to the 2002 Commonwealth Games when the route to Sports City was "beautified".

My favourite benches discovered last week include Rune's at Kristiansand Zoo, Tom's in a local park, Barbara's at English Bay, Christchurch Photo Diary's in the Botanic Gardens and Baruch's alongside the Kohimarama Esplanade.

  2. I'm sorry to say that I feel that "beautification" scheme must have had a temporary goal - a follow on on the structures seems indicated.

    PS The names make me wonder - what is at the en on every street??

  4. It wasn't there when I worked in the area. I could have eaten my lunch on one of those benches.

  5. A wee garden at the end of every street would be lovely to go and sit awhile.
