In Stevenson Square in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, you can enjoy the artistic products of an exciting project.
Stevenson Square was designated a conservation area back in 1987: it contains many, many buildings of historic significance, including a good selection of Georgian and Victorian properties.
More recently, the disused toilet block in the centre of the square has been transformed into an outdoor art gallery with a roof garden, where trees and edible plants now thrive. The street art is thriving too, with local businesses supporting a regularly changing array of art work. One of my favourite artists to appear in the area is Lispencie who has this on show currently in Stevenson Square:
The work on display changes every quarter and never disappoints.







What a lovely idea! I’m happy you talk to ME 😀

Do you know, I really must get myself to Manchester! A bit like you and the Algarve, Debbie, I’ve only ever been once. 🙂 Perhaps I’ll do the Christmas market this year. I’m not one to go looking for snow.

We’ve all learned to love and appreciate the ever changing gallery in Stevenson Square. My favorite is the dog. Love his neon outline. Thanks, Debbie, for contributing to this week’s Monday Mural.
