About this Event
How Manchester Invented the Modern World
Join me for a lively walk through Manchester’s hidden industrial past — the place where an obscure village became the engine room of the Industrial Revolution. This wasn’t a city built by kings or princes, but by workers whose ideas and graft reshaped society.
We’ll trace that transformation as we pass the city’s oldest building, the site of the world’s first true factory, towering mills, and the overlooked remains of the era that still sit in plain sight. It’s the story of how modern life began, told on the streets where it happened.
Where is it happening?
