Ancoats urban decay paradise

the irony

Only a few blocks from the city centre is Ancoats, an area of Manchester with a deep history of industrial age, poverty, mills of cotton and all sorts of historical nastiness. Some of the old mills have been turned into fancy office blocks, or apartments, but many including the Bank of England building lie empty, slowly rotting away.

I love urban decay photography, because to me it represents impermanence. And even photography itself if a representation of it, as every photo is a snap shot of time than is always changing, every second.
