Its a McDonald's on the corner of Oxford Road and Cheepstow (I think). It is a snapshot of Manchester because there is nothing quite as worldwide as McDonald's: they are everywhere. The shop is inside a repurposed building, which, according to the stonework on the left hand side of the shot, is "The Picture House." Most of Manchester is made of this color brick or rock work. And the whole thing is slightly tatty. One of the windows in the upper story is broken, and pigeons roost there. And if anything is everywhere in Manchester, it's pigeons.
I sometimes sit at the bus stop on the right hand side of the picture to waiting to catch the second bus to get to church. The Pakistani (?) Embassy is across the street.
