It really is grim up North! – Part 1
The Viaducts, Castlefield, Manchester
A trip into Manchester last Friday to meetup with Eddie Coulson. No particular plan in mind other than a catchup and to take a few snaps. There’s a new entertainment complex being built on the site of the old Coronation St set within the Granada Studios complex, which now resides at Salford Quays. This new entertainment venue is due to open June 2023 so I thought we could wander down there and see how its progressing. Unfortunately, you can’t get anywhere near the site, let alone take pictures – that will have to wait until June now.
It's only a short walk to Castlefield so we ventured there. It’s been a few years since I last visited and I’m sorry to say the place looks awful now. Yes, there was graffiti then, but now it’s everywhere… the place looks like a sh**hole and to say that this was Britain’s first Urban Heritage Park.
