More about this scene
This view looks from Fennel Street, with Cathedral Street going off to the left. This corner of the Cathedral (the Manchester Regiment Chapel) was badly damaged in the blitz of the Second World War. The window that you can see to the left of the lamp-post now has modern stained glass in it, in wonderful reds and oranges, to depict the flames of the bombing; it was designed as a tribute to the Cathedral and to Manchester's rise from that episode. The wall we see on the right and the graveyard behind were cleared away in the 1950s.
