In this video we visit five historical survivors in Manchester and Salford. Firstly we visit the town of Radcliffe and look at two Industrial weirs on the river Irwell. These weirs provided water to two goits. Hutchinsons Goit and Bealeys Goit that fed Bleach works and a Paper mill in the town. Secondly we look at an old pack horse bridge. the old Blackford bridge on the river Roch near the town of Bury. Then we go to Weaste in Salford to look at some salford corporation surviving tram tracks for the early 1900's. Off to castlefield in manchester to look at some Roman remains. Finally we look at an old water drinking well, possibly Georgian in Manchester city centre. This well was situated near the infamous Little Ireland and most certainly played a role in its history.
