All Saints Library is based next to the historic heart of the All Saints area. The Church that gave the area its name was demolished in 1946 and has been replaced by a small park, consecrated land that gives some welcome respite from the urban landscape.
To find out more about the park, the church and the hidden gems within, this fascinating blogpost from the Urban Prehistorian sheds light on what I thought was just a nice bit of greenery.
If you are interested in historic Manchester then the public library hosts a historical image bank including a wonderful photo of Oxford Road and the All Saints area from 1884 showing a disappointing lack of fast food shops.
