Central Manchester, aerial view

Central Manchester, aerial view. North is at top. Manchester is one of the largest cities in the UK. The River Irwell (upper left) flows through the city centre (centre left) and then becomes the Manchester Ship Canal (lower left). Manchester's main railway station, Manchester Piccadilly, is on the eastern edge of the city centre. The barren area at centre right is the Eastlands area, where the 2002 Commonwealth Games stadium (later the City of Manchester Stadium) was built. This image is around 8 kilometres across
