Faster than The Westway, fiercer than the M25, friendlier than the Road to Mandalay, this is Manchester’s only city centre motorway, opened by the prime minister, Harold Wilson, in May 1967. However if you watch Life on Mars it was supposedly still being planned in 1973 when Sam Tyler, the hero rises after his car crash.
The motorway, officially the A57 (M) has long been shrouded in myth and secret, strange history. why is there a stump leading off the outside lane by Upper Brook Street that just hangs in the air?
Did the planners really believe the landscaped areas within the roundabouts would be used by residents for relaxation rather than be avoided by anyone sane for fear of being mugged. And what on earht was on the site before the concrete was rammed through?
We will walk the safe parts, away from the thunderous traffic, on a sojourn through the urban undergrowth to reveal the hidden history of the highway in the sky.
