Honestly, the biggest cannabis farm you've ever seen

This is the gigantic cannabis farm uncovered by police in north Manchester.

Hundreds of plants line the floor in black plant pots on at least three storeys.

It is not yet clear exactly where the discovery was made, but footage was shared by officers from Cheetham Hill and Crumpsall on Thursday afternoon (July 18).

It is believed the farm was found earlier that day.

The tour-like video, shot by police, takes you through the building room by room.

In the first, dozens of large, mature-looking plants sit on what is thought to be white plastic sheeting. The walls and ceiling are white.

Large ventilation tubes run down the side of the room, and lighting and other electrical equipment hangs from above.

The footage then takes you up some stairs - once again lined with ventilation tubes and more empty black plant pots.

A room on the right is in darkness, but a light is turned showing yet more cannabis plants and equipment inside.

Next another set of stairs, with more empty plant pots stacked high at the top.

Then another room - potentially loft of attic space.

This too is filled with cannabis plants.

It is not known at this stage whether any arrests have been made.

The Manchester Evening News has contacted the local team for further information.
