Also featuring The Nico Ditch :-

Nico Ditch, constructed sometime between the Roman withdrawal from Britain and the Norman Conquest (possibly in the 7th Century as a boundary for the expansionist Anglo-Saxons, or in the late 8th or early 9th Century as a boundary marker between the Kingdoms of Mercia and Northumbria.) The purpose of Nico Ditch is unclear; it may have been used as a defensive fortification or as an administrative boundary. Regardless of its earlier use, the ditch has been used as a boundary since at least the medieval period, and legend has it that Nico Ditch was completed in a single night by the inhabitants of Manchester as a protection against Viking invaders in 869-870. Each man had a set area of the ditch to construct and was required to dig the ditch and build a bank equal to his own height.
