The mystery removal of four pillars on the Rochdale Canal in Manchester City Centre has been explained.
Last week, the four pillars on the canal — opposite the former site of the Hacienda nightclub — vanished, according to Ed Glinert, who runs the New Manchester Walks tours company. That came as a shock to Ed, given their historical importance.
“I saw the pillars had gone,” he said. They were not industrial, they look it, but they’re not.”
