Not a lot of people have the patience or time to take interest in local history.  Here for the benefit of those who are interested here is a site that gives information of the Heritage sites in the North West.

“ Britain's first Urban Heritage Park, Castlefield played a major role in the development of the industrial world, being the site of Britains first man made canal, the first commercial railway and in it's hey day part of the World's greatest industrial city. The reconstructed Roman remains of the original settlement Mamucium, the Bridgewater Canal Basin and the massive Victorian railway viaducts form a historic backdrop for a modern day Castlefield.”
