Overview

This is a paid for walk led by a professional Manchester Walk Guide, John Alker, who will take us through Manchester's industrial past with the theme of 'politics and poverty'.  The cost is £8 a head and there is a limit of 20 participants so places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.  Please contact Gill Hollas to book a place.  Margaret Haygarth is collecting the money.
