Image title: Statue of the god Neptune, Manchester Ship Canal House

Statue of the god Neptune holding a three-pronged fork stands above the parapet of Manchester Ship Canal House, constructed during the early 20th century. Few people notice the statue as it is so far above street level.

I would love to go up on an access ramp and photograph the statue and building at the top, with the city skyline in the background.
