Manchester Mayfield

[mjn]

I went on a tour of the building yesterday, which was very enjoyable. The chap had a photo of the covered high level pedestrian walkway which used to connect the platforms to London Road back before it closed in the 60s.

You could see the access point (now tiled up with white tiles) via a staircase from the platform level. Externally I think it will have been near where the purple 'ninja' sign is now.

I've been having a Google today but cant seem I find any photos of it. Has anyone got one please?

Sorry forgot to say I had found the aerial pics but wanted one from ground level.
