Then & Now – Cheetham Hill Road, Manchester
Welcome to Then and Now, where each week we compare images of Manchester streets, landmarks and buildings from bygone days with how they look in 2017.
This week it’s the turn of Cheetham Hill Road, which runs from Corporation Street in the city centre to Crumpsall where it changes its name to Bury Old Road. Today it’s a busy street lined with shops, churches, synagogues, mosques and temples as well as terraced houses.

Then and Now
King Street, Manchester
Welcome to Then and Now, where each week we compare images of Manchester and Merseyside streets, landmarks and buildings from bygone days with how they look now.
This week our main image shows people trudging down a snowy King Street in the 1970s, probably seeking cover in one of the many shops.
Modern King Street is now home to some of Manchester’s smartest outlets, boasting well-known designer names. A few can be glimpsed in photographer Nicola Mazzuia’s 2019 picture.
But back in Manchester’s Victorian heyday, the street featured the grand Town Hall, which in turn became the Central Library. The original Town Hall was replaced by a new building in Albert Square.
