    Arrow Victoria Arches, Manchester, March 2012

    The Victoria Arches


    Visited with Humpa/Ravenwing93/Rockford


    History



    The Victoria Arches were a series of arches built in the embankment of the River Irwell in Manchester. They served as business premises, landing stages for Steam packet riverboats and as World War II air-raid shelters.
    Regular flooding of the river resulted in the closure of the steam-packet services in the early 20th century, following which the arches were used for general storage. In World War II they were converted into air raid shelters. The arches are now bricked up and inaccessible; the staircases were removed in the latter part of the 20th century.

    The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.
