5. Piccadilly Gardens

Piccadilly Gardens, the city's main central square, has long been an awkward space in the middle of Manchester's busy thoroughfares. Now home to an elegant ellipse of fountains – and wide green expanses of lawn – over the last 250 years, it has been an ornamental pond, a lunatic asylum, a rose garden, and (originally) just a collection of water-filled holes. For many years, the space was neglected, with traffic running all around it, and its gardens somewhat unloved.
