2 Bits of Old Railway Architecture near Manchester

Two bits of footage that probably don't make an interesting video on their own, presented here while lockdown restricts where we can all explore.

First is a railway abutment of a bridge that once spanned the River Mersey at Heaton Mersey, just outside Stockport. On the site were two bridges, crossing each other across the waters, each with one abutment left over.
One is not accessible, adjacent to a live railway line and squashed up next to a sewage works. But with a bit of effort (and strange looks from dog walkers) and you can get anywhere.

The second site is the remains of a viaduct in Clayton, to the east of Manchester city centre, which once fed coal to the huge Stuart Street power station (and other raw materials to a neighbouring chemical works). This short section of closed off viaduct had little on interest, but a commanding view of the area.

Cheers!
