Saint George's Island
Two of the apartments in the St George’s Island development at Castlefield.
The St George Island apartments sit on a promontory of land close to where the Hulme Locks Junction Canal once formed an important connection between the Bridgewater Canal and the River Irwell / Manchester Ship Canal. The complex includes 5 apartment buildings set within almost two acres of land between the Railway Viaduct and the canal. A footbridge and a road bridge (Hulme Hall Road, from where this photograph was taken) provide access onto the site. http://manchesterhistory.net/manchester/outside.html - Manchester History Net

St. George's Island
A development of apartments on the land between the Bridgewater Canal and the railway lines. Appropriate and patriotic flags were being flown for the World Cup soccer. Derelict canalside warehouses can be seen on the towpath side of the canal, indicating what a run-down area this had become before the present enthusiasm for urban apartments, which is very welcome.
