Searching For George Stephenson’s Bridge
One of the major components of the Northern Hub is the Ordsall Chord. This is so important it has its own web site.
Would you believe that where logically the curve should go, there is a Grade One listed bridge put up by George Stephenson?
The various heritage sites are shown here on the Ordsall Chord web site.
So I went to take some pictures of the area.
There are several bridges there and quite frankly none appears to have much elegance.
The solitary Salford lith was useless, as it only gave details about Salford. I was virtually outside Manchester Victoria station and that wasn’t shown.
Salford and Manchester may be two separate cities, but the rest of the world sees them as one and they should act as such, otherwise visitors will come back with tales of this impenetrable city and discourage their friends from coming.

I agree that there should be unified signposting etc between Manchester and Salford. I know when I have gone from M into S because the information signs are bright pink! If that tatty budge is grade 1 listed, it needs conserving!

I suspect that as one end is in Salford and one end is in Manchester, the councils can’t agree on who should give Network Rail a nudge!

Probably right

[…] Compare these pictures with those I took on Wednesday in Manchester. […]
