Manchester Jutland St in rain 1997 (bw)
Thanks very much for this information. It seems there is more to underground Manchester than we might have been aware of.
Another subject is undergound rivers. It's said there is a River Tib underneath Tib Street. Did the Romans call it Tib after the Tiber? And under Store Street, beneath Piccadilly Station Approach and Gateway House, it's said there is a lost river. It certainly seems like there is a kind of valley there.
That's where that steep street Jutland St, former Junction Street is located and in a short time, the Inacity Tower will rise up from there, so Manchester goes up into the sky as well as deep into the ground.
Which reminds me, what about all those old coal mines in the 'coal crescent' to the north west, north and north east of Manchester? I must visit the Stockport Air Raid shelters soon.
