Manchester has an extensive interconnection of canals and waterways built at the height of its prosperity. Today all of the industry which made this region great has gone leaving behind a fascinating legacy of old mills, grandiose buildings and monuments. Some of these buildings have been restored as office space or inner city apartments. This video is a walk from central Manchester following the route of the Rochdale canal from the Bridgewater basin. Navigable for most part along the tow path however some places are under repair which means in some cases you have to walk up the parallel streets. Canal street, leading to the "village" is a well known "gay" centre and even today cross-dressers were openly walking up and down this area! As the canal heads out from the city and towards Rochdale the walk returns through the Ancoats district and down through Shudehill back to Victoria station. clearly lots of development work is being undertaken, but as this video shows some of the areas of the city are very "wild"
