As the title invites, we will show you round Manchester past and present, some history, some music facts, lots of stories and an entertaining insight into the original modern city that is Manchester.

Girl Power Manchester Style

Famous and not so famous, but equally as interesting, women of Manchester, did they hide behind their menfolk? No chance! Hear their stories.

Victorian Underworld

A tale of two Manchesters in this story of life in Victorian times. Hear about the lives of the people who lived and worked in the city centre, their trials and tribulations and some who managed to leave their mark on the city, not to mention the story of the Scuttlers!

The Northern Quarter

Visit the newest old part of Manchester! Along streets where the Rag Trade flourished and you could buy any pet, from a puppy to a snake; where today retro and Bohemian take the place of sweat shop and factory. Along Oldham Street to the Craft Centre, see the newest mews houses in the city and hear the stories of bygone times.

Ancoats and Angel Meadow

Away from the refined buildings of Albert Square and Mosley Street lived the mill and factory workers, the immigrants from the surrounding areas and beyond, all coming to seek their fortune in the first industrial city. Did they manage it? come along and judge for yourselves.

Canals under the City Streets

Follow the Rochdale Canal as it wends its way through the centre of Manchester from Castlefield to Piccadilly, passing through Deansgate Locks and under Oxford Rd.

Regeneration

As the first truly industrial city Manchester long had a reputation of being a' dark satanic town', today all that remains of those times are the canals and the newly remodelled mills and factories. Two areas have been transformed in this way; Spinningfield, by Deansgate and the area of Ancoats and New Islington.
