From Stockport Pyramid to the pillars of the Rochdale Canal... the seven wonders of Greater Manchester
It’s chock-full of things to do. But one notable absence is a cross-city-region heritage tour. That’s probably down to practical reasons, as Greater Manchester is huge, but it’s still a shame.
There have been moves to revitalise the pyramid, but it remains quiet, for now. At the moment, it’s still a helpful landmark on the M60. White City Botanical Gateway Picture the scene: You’ve just emerged from a giant warehouse full of sweaty gig-goers, it's pouring it down, and you’re trying to get a cab home. You dart across the road and find some shelter, look up… and see you’re standing underneath white doric columns supporting a gateway.
And, although it feels like you’re a million miles away from the hubbub of Deansgate and Market Street, the views remind you that you’re only 12 miles from St Peter’s Square. It’s impressive to see how small the city’s skyscrapers can look, and given the height of Holcombe Hill, it’s even more novel to be high up above the city.
