During the regeneration of the Castlefield basin in Manchester, a spectacular footbridge was built from Slate Wharf to Catalan Square.
The so-called Merchant’s Bridge has a 3 metre wide deck hung by 13 hangers from steel arches spanning 40 metres. It was designed by Whitby and Bird and influenced, by their own admission, by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.
