The Victoria Building office block, street lamps and the Detroit Bridge at Salford Quays, Manchester, England, UK
The Detroit Bridge was formerly the twin-track railway bridge that linked the Manchester Ship Canal Railway, a cargo railway system on Manchester and Salford Docks, to Trafford Park. It was originally sited across the Ship Canal but when the Manchester and Salford docklands were closed in the 1970s, the bridge was retained as a feature of the redevelopment of The Quays. In 1988 is was floated down the Ship Canal on pontoons to a new position across the former No. 9 Dock where it is currently used as a footbridge.
