About Castlefield and staying safe

Castlefield is where Manchester began: the site of a Roman fort, the terminus of the Bridgewater Canal and a dramatic tangle of Victorian railway viaducts. Converted warehouses line the basins, the Science and Industry Museum occupies the world's oldest surviving passenger railway station, and the Castlefield Viaduct sky park offers a green walk high above the canals. It is a conservation area with a village feel, but its waterside paths, arches and car parks are dim after dark. Arrange to meet any contact in a well-lit, public place first, tell a friend where you are going, and agree how you will leave. Never share your home address before you trust someone. Advertisers who list Castlefield on LUX are verified independent adults with a single profile each, and every image and description is reviewed before it goes live. LUX does not hold money or take deposits, so anyone asking for payment 'through LUX' is attempting fraud. If you have concerns about a profile, including photos you recognise from elsewhere, please report it so our moderators can investigate.
