Geocache Description:


"Pomona seems utterly isolated, yet can be reached on foot in minutes from Manchester’s city centre" - The Guardian

As the Irwell acts as the invisible boundary between Salford and Manchester, Pomona is the limbo that buffers that waterway; it’s the tapering slice of land that makes way for the river to graze the Bridgewater Canal before both waterways abruptly branch off in opposing directions.

Once a bustling dockland and now a serene wasteland, Pomona, as small as it is manages to straddle Salford, Old Trafford and to a lesser extent Manchester (it takes mere minutes to reach from central Manchester on foot). These edgelands of Manchester are our alternative countryside. - TheSkyliner.org

You will need to bring your own pen, as this is now a nano cache due to the original going for a walk. The road through pomona is closed to traffic, but is used by pedestrians as a shortcut, but it's not very busy.
