Rochdale Canal, Piccadilly
This is where the canal passes beneath Dale Street between locks 84 and 85. It is quite threatening here, hardly the feature developers use to market city centre waterside living. It stinks of urine and is redolent of rent boys.

Walkway under Piccadilly
The walkway alongside the Rochdale Canal under Piccadilly.
Since 2003 a colourful mural brighten up a dark corner of the Rochdale Canal. For many years, the tunnel below Piccadilly, which includes Lock 85, had been a neglected and menacing area. In readiness for the re-opening of the whole Rochdale Canal, the tunnel area was improved, with better lighting, dark recesses blocked off by panelling and a new walkway avoiding the need to walk around the edge of the underground area. The new mural brightens the panelling.
The massive mural, sited along the side of the tunnel, close to Lock 85, was designed by canal boat painter Philip Speight and undertaken by members of the city centre business and residential communities as part of the Manchester Waterways Initiative.
The mural celebrates in art the cultural heritage of Manchester, from the industrial revolution through to the Commonwealth Games. Its centrepieces are renditions of the Commonwealth Games 2002 logo and the canal boat 'Manchester Rose 2002', emphasising the importance that year played in rejuvenating the city's 20 mile waterway system. http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/rochdale/rc15.htm
