++++ ERROR MESSAGE ++++ The population figure of around 100,000 for Rochdale is for the TOWN of Rochdale, NOT the metropolitan borough, which has a population of not far off a quarter of a million.
In this video we go on a trip along the Metrolink line heading east from Piccadilly Station to take a look at some of the development going on or planned in New Islington, Ancoats, Holt Town, at the Manchester City stadium in Sportcity and in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
We look at new construction and development, renovation of older buildings, re-invention of the urban area, with reference to some old photos from my archive and from the Manchester Libraries collection.
We do a quick history of Bradford Colliery and discover what’s on the site today.
We do a circuit of the exterior of the City of Manchester Stadium, home of Manchester City Football Club.
It’s a snapshot of a part of Manchester that is being transformed from urban wasteland into an area of attractive, green waterside suburbs and state-of-the-art sports facilities. We continue into Tameside and visit Ashton town centre looking at the Market Place and taking a view back towards the Manchester skyline from the Ikea store, a great viewpoint.
Here’s the Place North West feature about plans for Holt Town, between Ancoats and Sportcity.

On the AidanEyewitness channel I explore new construction, modern architecture, urban development and local identity in the Manchester and Liverpool city regions as well as connected cities further afield.
I want to highlight what’s good, weigh up the issues and in the comments, provide an opportunity for people to share their opinions, insights and insider information. I try to answer each comment asap, but please be patient if it takes longer.

Usually when you think of evolution or natural selection, you think of survival of the fittest. But sometimes, the resulting traits of evolution aren’t the most efficient solutions to the problems at hand. With the bar set to “good enough,” here are some features that arose from evolution which get the job done in strange or roundabout ways. Hosted by: Rose Bear Don’t Walk

Is the UK really safer for women than the US?
In this video, we break down the shocking differences between Britain and America when it comes to women’s safety, rights, and freedom.
From gun violence vs knife crime, to abortion rights, healthcare costs, maternity leave, workplace equality, and everyday safety, we compare the reality of being a woman in the UK versus the USA.
🇬🇧 Britain might have drizzle, but it also has universal healthcare, fewer guns, and stronger protections for women.
🇺🇸 America may call itself the land of the free but for many women, freedom comes with a cost.
Watch until the end to see why, despite its flaws, the UK might just be the better place to be a woman.

A three-year-old boy has astounded doctors with his progress after becoming the first person in the world with his devastating disease to receive a ground-breaking gene therapy.
Oliver Chu has a rare, inherited condition called Hunter syndrome – or MPSII – which causes progressive damage to the body and brain.
In the most severe cases, patients with the disease usually die before the age of 20. The effects are sometimes described as a type of childhood dementia.
Due to a faulty gene, before the treatment Oliver was unable to produce an enzyme crucial for keeping cells healthy.
In a world first, medical staff in Manchester have tried to halt the disease, external by altering Oliver’s cells using gene therapy.
Prof Simon Jones, who is co-leading the trial tells the BBC: “I’ve been waiting 20 years to see a boy like Ollie doing as well as he is, and it’s just so exciting.”
At the centre of this remarkable story is Oliver – the first of five boys around the world to receive the treatment – and the Chu family, from California, who have put their faith in the medical team at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.
A year after starting the treatment, Oliver now appears to be developing normally.
“Every time we talk about it I want to cry because it’s just so amazing,” says his mother Jingru.
The BBC has followed Oliver’s story for more than a year – including how scientists in the UK first developed the pioneering gene therapy and how the medical trial they are conducting almost didn’t get off the ground due to lack of funds.
