Join Clancy Nook, Manchester's favourite raconteur, on a storytelling tour of Manchester's original and exclusive suburb - Whalley Range!
About this Event

A pay-as-you-feel walking tour!


Did you know that Whalley Range has a college for religious rebels that was built to rival Oxbridge?


Or that it was once the home of the country's biggest aquarium?


Have you ever wondered how Whalley Range got its less-than-savoury reputation in the second half of the 1900s?


I want to bring history into your everyday reality. Rather than just tell you facts and figures, I tell stories that you will remember long after the evening is over. The aim is to make you think about the place in a totally new way - to bring a new vibrancy to your experience of walking down the street!


W hether you live in Whalley Range and want to know more about your local area, or you are looking for an evening of entertainment in a fascinating backdrop, come along this 90 minute tour of one of Manchester's most turbulent suburbs.


On this tour:


- See the of the opulence of this Victorian Suburb. Experience the sights and sounds of the Nineteenth Century


- Meet the tycoons of the industrial revolution who called Whalley Range home


- Hear the stories of the children of the post-war generation. This suburb was an idyllic place for many well into the 20th century


- Learn why the place attracted the VIPs of 1970s rock and roll


- Find out what changed in the Northwest and beyond that transformed a leafy Victorian suburbia into in inner-city underworld


Meet outside The Whalley Hotel, opposite Divine Wellness Cafe, 1 Withington Road, Manchester M16 7EW.


This event is pay-as-you-feel. Please reserve a place if you wish to come. I can only accommodate those who have reserved for insurance reasons. Please note this is a 14+ event.
