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?
H ave 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.
