A doomed shopping centre - said to have failed after as a result of gang intimidation and violence - lasted less than 20-years before bulldozers tore it down.
Archive newspaper stories tell of the rapid downfall of the now demolished Moss Side shopping centre. The shopping precinct was central to plans drawn up for the creation of the Moss Side District Centre in the late 1960s.
Moss Side District Centre was part of the largest redevelopment zone in Europe at the time, built to serve more than 60,000 people in Moss Side, Whalley Range, and Hulme.
