OAS FIRST LOOK AT PLANS FOR CITY CENTRE PARK LIKE NEW YORK’S ‘HIGH LINE’
STEVE ROBSON
URBAN OASIS

THIS is the first look at plans to turn Castlefield Viaduct into an urban park including a secret garden, welcome area and events space.

The National Trust has submitted plans to Manchester council to transform a section of the Grade II-listed structure into an urban oasis overlooking the city centre and beyond, similar to New York’s famous ‘High Line’.

Built in 1892 by Heenan and Froude, the same engineers who worked on the Blackpool Tower, the viaduct has not been in use for more than 50 years.

Local residents and politicians have supported plans to bring the asset back to life for some time, especially as the city centre population has expanded and clamour for green space has increased.
