JUST MY DRONE // MIDDLEWOOD LOCKS SALFORD

Flying my drone over Middlewood Locks on the Salford Manchester border. These locks originally joined the River Irwell to the canal system out to Bury & Bolton. The locks have been paritally restored but much of the land remains ripe for development.

I used to live near Salford Cathedral 22 years ago when it was all run down and dilapidated. I just lived there because I worked in the city centre but moved away. Look at it now! 😂 Did they move out all the Salford riff-raff? Definitely some gentrification happened there.......

Thanks for the update including the shots of the Trinity Islands Towers. 🙂👍 Middlewood Locks is a well-placed district being so close to the St. John's, New Bailey and Spinningfield business districts. Working From Home is a huge game changer particularly for office building which is slumping, see House of Fraser (Kendals), Rylands etc. First plans including the Nook at Middlewood Locks included offices but revised plans didn't. Lots of building plans either stalled or stalling like Viadux2. Interest rates and objections? The steam certainly seems to have gone out of the Manchester bubble? Not popular just letting nature taking it's course and returning it to fields like originally, around Ordsall Hall, Hulme Hall + Garratt Hall nearby.

When did hear that Viadux 2 was stalling? I haven't heard anything about it since late April when Salboy lodged its plans.

@@footballfanar9717 Yes, Salboy lodged it's plans in April and was due a decision the following week. The plan was to do the legalities and be on site late year. English Heritage objected to the plans. Plan seems to have stalled. There were three elements 1). 76 storey tower 2). 23(?) storey tower of affordable homes. 3). Public realm enhancements. Probably without 1), 2) & 3) are uneconomic. Not holding my breath about any decision.

@@English_Dawn English heritage object to any plans that would help a city develop. If people have any sense, they won't listen to a word they say. It's a simple case of ignoring whatever they say.
