TIME

10.30am - 12.30pm & 1.30pm - 3.30pm

LOCATION

Manchester 

SUITABLE FOR

Adults

Including visits to the Science and Industry Museum, John Rylands Library and the People's History Museum, join tour guide Emma Fox to discover the technology and pioneering spirit leading to the era of 'Cottonopolis' - when Manchester was the capital of the world's cotton industry and trade. 

Learn more about the polarising impact on the town's population: enormous wealth created by the few while the many lived in unthinkably squalid conditions which became the breeding ground for reform.

This event is graded as moderate access, as it is a walking tour covering up to 1.5-2 miles, with few places to stop and rest.
