Cornbrook viaducts
Parallel viaducts carry the Metrolink and railway across the Bridgewater Canal at Cornbrook. The Metrolink viaduct was originally built by the Cheshire Lines Committee in 1880, and comprises plate and lattice girders. Such modern materials were not available to the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway in 1849 when they built their traditional and beautiful cast-iron single span. The train is a class 142 'Pacer' DMU operated by Northern Rail.
The image was captured from a balcony on Mere House.

Irwell-side apartments
A large development of apartments on Worrall Street which face, or back onto the River Irwell with its graffiti-rich towpath wall. Support is being shown for the (doomed) English soccer team whose match against Germany kicked off a couple of hours after the image was captured. It is extraordinary how buildings such as this are now sought-after in an area that was utterly derelict in the years following the cessation of trade in the docks.
