About this Event
Strangeways. The very name enough to send a frisson of fear down the spine of the even the most hardened felons.
This is the Pr*son where a hundred people found themselves dangling at the end of a rope (until 1964) and where the inmates rioted voraciously in 1990.
But it’s not just a Pr*son, Strangeways is the area north of Victoria Station, colonised by immigrant Jews in the late 19th century, whose one-time presence can still be spotted by the eagle eyes and whose community was overlooked by the minaret-shaped Pr*son tower (designed that way by a rather cheeky Alfred Waterhouse).
Escape with Ed Glinert, author of "Manchester: The Biography", around its darkest corners for a less than whole life tariff.
