About this Event

Find out about Manchester and Mancunians at the start of a new century. With the death of a queen after a long reign, the Victorian era gave way to an Edwardian age of change.
We’ll explore the new architecture and fashions of the time, hear of entertainment with cinema, theatre and football, examine the Manchester-born suffragette movement and the birth of new unions, and see how the shock city of 19th Century industry moved on from its Victorian heights.
