Draining has revealed the things that have settled on the bottom of the canal
Mancunians have branded the Rochdale Canal an “eyesore” after the grim reality of what lies on the bottom of the busy city centre waterway has been exposed.
Pictures show chairs, traffic cones, road signs and beer bottles as just some of the items Mancunians have disposed of in the water. City centre residents and visitors have taken to social media to share their disgust on what can be seen at the bottom of the canal. In typical Manchester fashion, Twitter user Thom Hetherington joked that Manchester was "showing Venice how to do it" after seeing a hot water bottle left at the bottom of the canal.
She said: “The stretch along Canal Street had the most bottles I’ve ever seen in my life, whereas the bit at Oxford Road was full of traffic cones. I don’t know what I was expecting to see… maybe some wildlife?”
