Manchester's Urban Water: A Historical Walking Tour
Get to know Manchester's water on a deeper level on a walk from the Museum of Science and Industry to the New Union pub on Canal Street. This tour covers canal building, reshaping rivers, cholera, mythical monsters, and the class issues surrounding access to urban water. We'll say “hi” to a hidden river and think about the pros and cons of hard and soft water. There'll also be floods and mud.
The practical details
We'll walk about a mile in 2 hours, with stops along the way. Meet at the main entrance to the Museum of Science and Industry. The tour will end at the New Union Pub on Canal Street. Kids under 12 tour free!
