As quoted in The Guardian "The River Irwell acts as the boundary between Salford and Manchester, and Pomona Island is the grassy limbo that buffers that waterway; it’s the tapering slice of land that makes way for the river, allowing it to graze the Bridgewater canal before both waterways abruptly branch off in opposing directions. Pomona is the worn-out fold in a map, and Pomona is imperceptible to everybody except those who obsess over it. I am one of the obsessed.
While some see Pomona as isolated and nefarious, the people who love the lost island of Manchester recognise that isolation as a paradise. Once a bustling dockland and now a wasteland, Pomona, as small as it is, manages to straddle the three boroughs of Salford, Trafford and (to a lesser extent) Manchester. These edgelands of the city are the alternative countryside. So why then is the sight of another human here as fleeting as that of a skylark?"
Lets do this............................
Sofa........King cool. On my way to Pomona
Spotted a celeb on my way down the Irwell to the River Crossing "Head like a f*ckin ORANGE"
The Bridge to Pomona.......
None shall pass....................
