More New Broadcasting House Demolition Photographs

After a few weeks work, there's definitely a lot less of New Broadcasting House still standing.  Hopefully, I'll have some spare time to get a few more shots before it's gone completely.

Right at the Top of the Palace Hotel

I was scouting for bees when I took this shot of the very top the Palace Hotel. Can't say I've ever noticed this security camera before - I wonder what it's focussed on?

BBC Demolition

Here's a few photographs of the demolition of the Oxford Road BBC Building taken a couple of weeks back. Most of it has now been taken down, but there's still a bit of work to be done. I intend to pop back before it's gone completely and take a few more shots documenting its destruction. I find the tangle of wires and metal fascinating to look at - almost organic in nature, tangled together like vines.
 

Oxford Road Street Art Tumblr

I've recently set up my first tumblr account, entitled Oxford Rd Street Art. The aim is to document the sticker art, stencil graffiti and poster work on display along Oxford Road, Manchester. I've been taking pictures of these for a while and since new items pop up along there on a regular basis, I figured it would be good idea to keep a track of things via tumblr.

Currently there's a small selection already posted with a new photo being added every Friday between now and the beginning of next year as I go through my back-catalogue. New items will then be added as they are photographed, using my trusty Sony Ericsson k800i. I'm still in the process of tinkering / adding details to the site - I thinking of adding a submission system in due course - so if you spot any of their own work and would like it credited, I'll be happy to make a correction and add a weblink if you can provide one.

Palmstruck Has A Posse

Whatever this is referring to, it's going right over my head.

Stolen Bike?

Not sure what exactly has happened here.

Darth Vader's Head on a Stick

I think the title says it all really.

Shop A Tory

Here's one of the many stickers that appeared along Oxford Road during last weeks Tory Party Conference.

Truth on Oxford Road

Oxford Road Lego Men

More from the overpass, this time the work of Brickz and Stones. Have a look at his website for more work and I'll be featuring more of pieces in the near future.

More Oxford Road Street Art

Here's another piece that is/was stuck up on the overpass pillars - the site of many a temporary piece.

Oxford Road Street Art

There's been a fair bit of graffiti and street art appearing along Oxford Road of late. Anyone know the artist of this one? There's a selection of their work along the road, with this particular piece to be found down by the John Dalton Building on a lampost on the corner of Cavendish Street and Higher Ormond Street.

The name on the Crane seems oddly appropriate...

Further Adventures Up on High

Following on from this previous post, this time I've been up multi-storey's in Spinningfields and Oxford Road. I remembered to bring my tripod this time, which I don't use a great deal and it was an interesting experience trying to get it position to capture the shots I wanted.

Out and about in Manchester: Happy Smiley Graffiti

These 2 happy fellows can be found along Oxford Road, the top one behind a pillar supporting Mancunian way the other just off on Charles street. I suspect that there might be more if I explore further up past MMU, but haven't done so as yet. Can anyone report any sightings?

Out and about in Manchester: Are you feeling Christmassy yet?

Yes, the Christmas lights are now up in Manchester. I saw them being put on Friday night actually, but none of the photos I took on the K800i were any good so I grabbed the above photo on Saturday.

I realise that Christmas isn't all that far away but it still feels too early for me for these to be up and on display.

Manchester by Night: Oxford Road
