There was a dramatic fire a couple of weeks ago on Raglan Street which sent up a huge cloud of black smelly smoke.
I didn't photograph any of that but later in the day I was on a bus on Manchester Road. The fire services tackling the blaze had lain a hosepipe across the road to the fire hydrant at the top of Ann Street. Alfred Street which leads to Raglan Street was blocked off and a Police Community Support Officer was on duty.
The cyclist in the yellow jacket seems to have had problems getting across the pipes.
A report on the blaze can be found on the Manchester Evening News.

I can see cars having a problem with that too...
ReplyDeleteWe had a big fire like that round our way the other week, a recycling center went up
ReplyDeleteThe hosepipes across the street is not every day's street scene.
ReplyDeleteThose hoses look rather chunky and very wheel unfriendly. An unusual sight in the streetscape.
