The Quays and The Lowry Theatre, Salford May 2020

On any weekday, The Quays, and area outside The Lowry Theatre would be busy with shoppers, drinkers, and Lowry Theatre venue and gallery go-ers - the COVIS Coronavirus lockdown put paid to that - in this image taken on a weekday in May 2020, there is no-one, literally, no-one to be seen. The experience visiting these parts of, usually busy, Manchester and Salford, was bizarre and eerie. These places were built for people, and the lack of any human activity felt apocryphal.
