Water
There has always been water in Ancoats. Originally there were canals, allowing deliveries to the pioneering mills at a time when Ancoats led the world into the Industrial Revolution. When the world caught up, the canals became derelict - but now they’re back and this time they are there for the community to enjoy! The material used to build the banks of the new water spaces in New Islington came from the basement excavations for the new buildings. Most people would cart this away at vast expense. Instead we have decided to keep it, clean it and make something glorious from it - now that’s sustainability!
