Constructed between 1972 & 1979 and then partially demolished when a bomb set off by the IRA caused havoc around the city centre in 1996 causing redevelopment to be taken underway. The Manchester Arndale is a building of great engineering an architectural interest. It is a shame that none of this industrial beauty can be viewed from the ground.

The roof is a sprawling area covered in PIR sensors it’s difficult to navigate but would be a haven for freerunners. It provides splendid views of the cathedral, the wheel and many other well known manchester landmarks.
