Park in the sky? Charity aims to revamp disused Manchester viaduct

The National Trust hopes to open temporary public space next summer as part of longer-term plans

A Manchester viaduct, which has not been used for more than 50 years, could reopen next summer as a transformed urban green space with hopes it will emulate New York's High Line as a park in the sky".

Trains ran on the grade II listed Castlefield Viaduct, built in 1892, to Manchester Central railway station until it closed in 1969.
