The manor house of the Lord of the Manor, in the centre of the medieval town of Manchester, stood on a sandstone bluff, at the confluence of the River Irwell and the River Irk.
At that point, the electrified line to Bury passes through Irk Valley Junction, so called because it lies on a viaduct above the River Irk.
