Piccadilly
Welcome to Then and Now, where each week we compare images of Manchester streets, landmarks and buildings from bygone days with how they look today.
Three different types of transport are pictured alongside each other in our main image of Piccadilly in 1915.
First in line and partly obscured, is a trolley-bus. It was, quite simply, a double-decker run on electricity through trolley poles.
An environmental dream, the trolley-bus was quiet, fume-free and more flexible in traffic than a tram. It could also accelerate like a sports car and stop on a sixpence!

Thomas Grady Oh my!!! I wouldn’t like to be waiting for this bus!! 👀 👀😬😬
Scary them Cybermen 😖
You wait one hour for a Cyberman to come along, than a dozen turn up all at once!
They won't bring them back now... Because of the 'healthy eating' brigade.. 😒 Nothing better than a lovely bag o chips ☺️
No... Never
No one likes waiting for the bus!
The Cybermen returned to the screens in Doctor Who in 1967 with Patrick Troughton playing the Doctor.
It was the sixth serial of the fourth season, spanning over four episodes, released weekly from 11th February to 4th March.
