Building Secrets: Underground Manchester

It's not really a secret that there's an extensive warren of tunnels, passageways, bomb shelters and failed walkways underneath the city centre but if it is... errr surprise!

Outside St Ann’s Church there is a statue which depicts a sight we sadly see in our city on a daily basis.

Lying on a bench, is a statue of #Jesus covered in a blanket with his bare feet sticking out. On his feet are the stigmata – the holes through his feet where he was nailed to the cross during his crucifixion.

This #sculpture speaks volumes about #homelessness in #Manchester and is designed to challenge and reflect on the growing crisis that is unfolding right in front of our eyes. #mcrfinest

We're hiding bundles of prizes in red envelopes on doors in the Northern Quarter from Wednesday onwards. Follow our @nqmanchester account where we'll be giving clues as to where the doors are.
