Snapshot of a city: Manchester’s city centre is beginning to return to some version of normal
- NQ photographer Fiona Hammond heads into the city centre to get an idea of how busy it is during the current lockdown
Despite being in a national lockdown, the sights from Manchester City Centre would beg to differ.
After spending a short while on a Thursday afternoon in March, images depict a very busy city centre with members of the public aged around 16 to 65+.
It almost seems as if people are fed up, raring to get back to normal and heading into town for a trip out. More positively, the public are pictured wearing their masks.
