About
This self-guided audio walking tour of Manchester traces a city that never accepted the way things were — from the Peterloo Massacre to the suffragettes, Alan Turing's story to the IRA bomb that rebuilt the city centre. Across 20 stops, you'll hear what most tours skip: cotton workers who chose conscience over survival, a Cold War bunker beneath Chinatown, and a postbox that survived Britain's largest peacetime bomb. This tour connects two thousand years of radical history across one four-kilometre walk.
Set your own pace, start anytime, pause whenever you like. No group to keep up with, no fixed schedule. Over 500 travelers have taken this Manchester audio tour, and 20,000+ have used our s...
