Chernobyl-like scenes have been spotted around Manchester since the Government advised Brits to ‘social distance’.
For a place with a population of over half a million, it’s a pretty rare sight to see our beloved home as a complete ghost town. Abandoned by almost all life, other than those who are still required to work such as shop/retail workers and those working in health and medical care (who we completely commend and thank!), Manchester has been looking far from its usual self this weekend following the Prime Minister’s announcement that all bars and restaurants must close.
Usually packed places such as the Northern Quarter, the Arndale and St. Peter’s Square have appeared completely deserted, as the city does its bit to keep their fellow Mancunians safe and well. Here’s some super eerie photos of a temporarily empty Manchester city centre.
