Salford Quays

I quite like this view from the side of Mariners Canal looking across Erie Basin*. 1980’s infrastructure, perhaps looking its age, and the early 1990’s Harbour City, with a backdrop of buildings of the here and now. The BUPA HQ, and two private X1 high rises still under construction.

* the larger water bodies are named after the Great Lakes, celebrating the trading links with Canada. I knew someone who travelled from here to Canada on a cargo boat as a child.
