Three viaducts, built by competing railway companies during the nineteenth century, run through Castlefield into Manchester city centre. The middle one has been disused since it was closed in 1969whilst the one immediately to the south of it has been converted for use by the Metrolink tramway. This view is from the central viaduct, looking towards the one now used by Metrolink.
