Cars, buses and trams compete for road space in this fabulous image of Manchester’s famous Piccadilly Gardens. We are not sure why one of Manchester City Police’s photographers took this image but it captures a slice of history in the heart of the city. The bus station clock stands at noon but can you help us identify the year the image was taken? Take a look at a modern image of the same scene. For more images from our Historic Police set. From the collection of Greater Manchester Police Museum and Archives.
