Optimus Prime is probably the largest culvert in Manchester.
It leads the River Irk beneath Victoria railway station before it reaches the Irwell near the MEN Arena.
Visited with nckt and ConcreteJungle, surprisingly none of us had visited this well-known Manchester drain before.
I'm so poor at the moment I can't afford batteries. The ones in my camera died before I could take any decent shots of this drain's main feature - a wooden, Victorian cattle bridge that has been culverted over. FML!
