Normally the Tesco supermarket at Parrs Wood/East Didsbury is open 24 hours but on Easter Sunday it was closed and its car park was entirely empty.

Viewed from a bus on Parrs Wood Lane waiting to cross the busy A34 Kingsway into Wilmslow Road. East Didsbury Station lies to the left of the railway bridge in the background. The clock tower was originally part of a tram depot but now belongs the Tesco supermarket which was built on the site.
