Hanging the washing out

I've always liked the fact that there is a little backyard atop the Peveril of the Peak.

The pub is a remnant. Around it are bigger buildings - some fine Victorian and Edwardian ones, with more modern offices too. The Bridgewater Hall is just around the corner, and the Beetham Tower (seen top of this shot) is not so far away. To the side areas of parking where long ago buildings used to be. And Great Bridgewater Street is a busy thoroughfare, lots of traffic passing by every day.

So it is just a little incongruous to find this little space open to full public view. Flower filled containers, a seat, and the washing on the line. But then cities are places where people live. So this little scene should not be so out of place.
