Not the railway station nor the "gardens" but the street. It is no longer the A6 road from London to Carlisle but a section of the bus terminus with three shelters catering for buses towards Droylsden and Ashton. The imposing buildings behind include the NatWest bank SJ8498 : 33 Piccadilly, Manchester and Nobles Amusements SJ8498 : Nobles Amusements. The latter used to a house a reasonably priced café but in recent years only slot machines and is likely to be closed soon as there are plans to redevelop the building. I had to wait quite a while for the street to empty of buses to get this clear view before another bus pulled round from Oldham Street.
