After many years of dereliction the Castlefield Viaduct, which once carried trains out of Manchester Central, has been adopted by the National Trust to create a 'green sky park' in 2022. This part of the viaduct opened in 1892 but closed in 1969 and was then unused until this summer, although Metrolink Trams run along a parallel bridge between Deansgate and Cornbrook and there is a brick viaduct passing underneath. Tickets to visit the bridge garden can be booked through the National Trust.
