The photo was taken in Castlefield area of Manchester, UK, generally considered to have been the world's first industrial city. Hence the status of Britain's first Urban Heritage Park, which was granted to Castlefield in 1982.
The big bridge structure in this photo is part of the tubular steel 1894 Great Northern Viaduct, built for the Great Northern Railway Company. The red brick construction further away is the 1849 viaduct of the Manchester, South Junction and Altrincham Railway, which also has a cast iron arch bridge. Viaducts cross the Bridgewater Canal (seen in the photo from the Staffordshire Arms water point), which was Britain's first as well as world's first industrial canal, opened for business back in 1761.

See more photos from my day in Castlefield here. A brief introduction to area and links to other sources of information are also provided.

The photo was taken using a mobile phone's camera. F 2.4, ISO 125. Post-processed using GIMP software. Photo by @peerynt

Hope you're having a great day.

Hi @bambuka, and thank you for the kind words.

Thank you for the offer too, but I'm gonna decline it as I'm not certain I could deliver on what's expected. I really don't know how much time I'd be able to afford for Steemit in the coming month as well as in a foreseeable future in general. Once again, thank you for the kind offer.

Thank you for the honest answer :)
But if you change your mind then let me know.

You're welcome. I'm always honest.

Sometimes though one has to remember that honesty should be proportional to the honesty of the company one finds themselves in. But that's just sometimes. :)
