As Manchester Estate Agents, we cover all pockets of the city centre. Historically, we have found that the south side of the city has alway been a popular go to area. Castlefield is Divided by the world’s oldest industrial canal, surrounded by red brick warehouses and once a hub of industrial activity, Castlefield is now one of the city’s most tranquil residential spots yet just minutes wall from Castlefield
Castlefield is located on the basin of the Bridgewater Canal, and offers waterside living just on the edge of the City. An interesting combination of industrial conversions, cutting edge architecture, and quaint cobbled streets make the area unique.
Eating and Drinking
With its open spaces, canals, viaducts and bridges, al fresco drinking and dining is Castlefield’s forte. There are some wonderful new bars and pubs in Castlefield, which is seemingly busier than ever before, especially on sunny days. ‘Dukes 92’ bar and grill, Albert’s Shed and Choice restaurant are all favourites with locals and visitors alike.
History
Sites of interest include the remains and reconstructed parts of the Roman Fort of Mamucium. In fact the name Castlefield, is the short form of ‘Castle in the Field’, the name given to the area after the fort was abandoned. The excavated Roman fort is what remains of the ancient garrison that gave Castlefield its name, and next to it sits the open-air Castlefield Arena, the site of occasional gigs and festivals.
Castlefield’s star attraction is unarguably the Museum of Science and Industry devoted to the development of science, technology and industry with emphasis on the city’s achievements in these fields. There are extensive displays relating to transport, power, sewerage and sanitation, textiles, communications and computing.
