Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned to undertake a built heritage survey targeting Embankment West, a complex of Victorian railway viaducts scheduled for demolition as part of a wider redevelopment of the former Manchester Exchange Station, Salford, Greater Manchester and supplements an earlier survey, carried out in 2014, which recorded the railway viaducts to the east of Greengate. The survey recorded ten of the seventeen north-south aligned vaulted arches and three east-west internal roadways. The brick-built vaults of Embankment West and the Salford Approach road were built by Messrs Robert Neill and Sons to the designs of the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) architect Francis Stevenson between 1880-1884, to support the Manchester Exchange Station and raise the track to the same level as the earlier London and North Western Railway LNWR railway line (built by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1844). |
