The Water Tour
Where does Manchester get its water from? How has the city used water over the centuries? And how has water shaped the Manchester we know now? Join us and get to know Manchester’s water on a deeper level.
We’ll meet in front of the main entrance to the Museum of Science and Industry on Liverpool Road.
We'll walk approximately 1 mile over two hours to the Sackville St end of Manchester's famous Canal Street (opposite REM Bar).
On the way we’ll talk hard water, soft water, floods, and mud. We’ll chat about canal building, how to reshape a river, the horrors of cholera and mythical water monsters. We’ll even meet a hidden river running out of sight beneath the city streets! And after all this, can we be sure if we control water or if water controls us?
