'Joy Division footbridge'
The footbridge over Princess Parkway (leading to Hulme) used by Kevin Cummins to shoot an iconic Joy Division photograph. Kevin’s picture was taken during a photoshoot for the NME on a snowy day on 6th January 1979, this one is 47 years later, looking much the same (with new railings but in a similar style).
