9 ENVIRONMENT, ARCHITECTURE & PLACE RESULTS THE TOP FIVE STORIES 1. Walk On The Wild Side Merchants Bridge Lock Keeper s Cottage Despite the city location, nature is very much a part of Castlefield s character. It is home to many animals including; Badgers, Barn owls, Bats, Canada Geese, Coots, Cormorants, Dormice, Grass Snakes, Heron, Hornets, Kestrels, Kingfishers, Mallards, Newts, Otters, Polecats, Stoats, Swan and Water vole. Built in 1995, the multi-award winning Merchants Bridge was constructed using cutting-edge technology of the day. The designers, Ramboll, say it s a symbol of the area s regeneration. Its counterbalanced curves transport and cradle pedestrians in a way that suggests they should linger and enjoy the spectacle The 163 Manchester and Salford Directory lists a John William Smith, living at Lock House, whose job was toll collector. It s now owned by local developers the Ramsbottom family, and thought to be the only detached house in Manchester city centre. 4. Archaeological Excavations , 197, 195, Hail Caesar! 79AD 46 Relics have been found here since the 1700s. A report c.130 tells of a man finding a bucketful of Roman coins, knotting his smock to make a sack to carry them away. Luckily the many more recent excavations have been better recorded uncovering the remains of the settlement and 10,000+ artefacts. Known as the birthplace of Manchester due to being the site of the Roman settlement of Mamucium. Founded by General Agricola it was built on a rocky outcrop protected by The Rivers Irwell and Medlock. This is the first definite record of human settlement in Manchester.

13 SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY RESULTS THE TOP FIVE STORIES 1. The Oldest Passenger Railway Station 2. The Museum of Science & Industry 3. The Pioneer s Canal The Manchester to Liverpool Railway opened in the first passenger railway in the world. The station closed to passenger services on 4 May 144 with the opening of Victoria Station, however it still operated as a bustling goods yard until British Rail took over in 194. The original station survives as part of the Museum of Science and Industry. First set on Grosvenor St, the museum was so busy it had to expand. When Liverpool Rd Station shut in 75 the council bought it as MOSI s new home. The museum has continued to grow and proudly displays objects and ideas to explain all things scientific or industrial. An additional changing programme of exhibitions also educates and inspires. Francis Egerton 3rd Duke of Bridgewater built Britain s first canal to transport coal from Worsley mines to industrial Manchester. By 1765 the canal reached Castlefield. The Wharf & Basin became a hive of activity resulting in kilns, and the warehouses we still see, being built. Rochdale Canal joined the Bridgewater in 105 creating an inland port. 4. All Aboard 130, Social Revolution The Manchester & Liverpool Railway was opened in 130 the first line to rely exclusively on steam power, with no horse-drawn traffic. Much of the brick and iron infrastructure that makes Castlefield so distinctive is linked in some way to the expansion of the railways, which enabled Manchester s cotton industry to thrive. The Hall of Science opened by the co-operative movement creator Robert Owen (Byrom St) to encourage radical and reforming debate. Over 3,000 people would attend lectures here at weekends, on English social and political matters. Amongst the list of speaker, Friedrich Engels, co-author of the Communist Manifesto appeared here during his time in Manchester.
