Manchester's oldest building, the Shambles, is rising to new heights, but it's not quite as easy as ganger man Pat Hegarty makes it look. The building has been raised five feet on hydraulic jacks and a service road to an underground car park is being taken underneath in the new city centre development area. 27th October 1971.
