The aim of this channel is to document the new construction that is going on in Manchester. The Manchester Building Boom is in full swing and shows no signs of slowing down.

New tall buildings are under construction all around the city. I find it difficult to keep up with them all, so I thought I would do a 'sweep' of the main high rise construction sites currently in progress on (mostly) the periphery of the city. We see a shapshot of progress of these sites as they looked at the Easter weekend, 31 March 2024, captured for posterity.
In the end I found 17 sites, all are high rise, or at least they are more than a few floors, some might count as skyscrapers, but are on a smaller scale than those in New York. I include a few 'then and now' photos including a photo of the abandoned Central Station in 1982, later to become GMEX, then reverting to Manchester Central.
On the AidanEyewitness channel, I produce snapshots of the ongoing development of Manchester, Liverpool and connected cities, focusing especially on new construction, renovation and adaptation of heritage buildings, modern architecture in general, public transport infrastructure, future construction plans as well as questions of urban identity and the uniqueness of cities. I like to document the construction of buildings, taking images at regular intervals and mergin them into timelapse sequences.
I’ve been interested in architecture and city development since I was a child. I was doing projects on Manchester architecture in primary school. From 1997 to 2005 I produced my website Eyewitness in Manchester which documented the reconstructin of the city after the IRA bomb in photos and words. I’ve contributed photos and writing to books, magazines and newspapers. AidanEyewitness is the latest chapter, I dream of a big audience and lots of success, but there is still a long way to go! Please help me by liking, subscribing, sharing, commenting and providing some financial support, so I can fulfil my dream of producing AidanEyewitness full time.
