Step into the footsteps of Friedrich Engels and discover Manchester's hidden histories through fresh eyes. What happens when a descendant of Angel Meadow's residents retraces one of history's most influential urban walks?
In this special talk commemorating the 180th anniversary of The Condition, we're thrilled to welcome Orwell Prize-nominated journalist and historian Dean Kirby.
