Underground Manchester: Secrets of the City Revealed

Product Information

The atomic bunker that stretches for four miles under George Street, Piccadilly Gardens and Market Street, built at a time of government paranoia (what’s new?!).

According to Manchester Underground (Warrender, 2007:99) there existed a shaft in the Trafford Hall Lodge with a rope ladder heading down to the Deansgate tunnel. The report – Manchester Piccadilly High Speed Station: Design of an Alternative Underground Station – adds that the two scenarios which use mined caverns “introduce significant risk both in terms of safety and of damage to existing structures due to settlement risks”. On the events that led her into the unlikely route of battle rapping, Joy explained: “It started out I was still really quite shy into my mid 50s and then I found performance poetry and started writing songs and found my voice. Don’t miss this sensational ice-skating show live from the heated theatre big top, on 200 sq. meters of shimmering real ice. Be wowed by this all new production featuring 16 ice skaters, international circus stars, amazing special effects, and the return of the massive ice bears!

Then, after turning 60, Joy decided to try 60 new things: “ That could be anything from trying a new food, to holding an owl – I’m going with somebody to do some spray painting graffiti art, so that’ll be added to my list.” There were no smart phones, so you either took a Kodak out with you or you paid for a keyring containing a group photo of you with your mates, taken by photographers who would be doing the rounds. So I went on it. And I found the best ones. Well, the ones that I found interesting. And then I did a bit more research and I am now presenting them to you right here. Enjoy. Piccadilly to Victoria Underground Rail LinkAll 22 libraries will be free to enter, and the Council says people can stay in them “for as long as you like”. The exchange was accessed by steps to a lift which took staff down 125 feet into the tunnels, where they would be protected from a nuclear blast by a 35 tonne concrete slab door. Builders uncovered a 30-year-old nuclear bunker under Trafford town hall as part of its multi-million pound renovation. You’ll be able to enjoy all the glittering lights and sights as you soar above the ground at a staggering 55 metres high. Take in the incredible views and a little piece of magic this Christmas.
