The foreground in this view from Duke Street in Castlefield, is the reconstruction of the northern ramparts of the Roman fort, Mamucium whilst in the background is the 47-storey Beetham Tower which, love it or hate it, is very much part of the 21st century Manchester skyline.
SJ8397 : Mills across the water Building on the right is a modern pastiche. I looked at this early in 2008 and realised it for what it was quite quickly. There is an excellent complex of converted mills in this corner. Just as important as Ancoats.
