SUMMARY:Gorton & Gorton Monastery
DESCRIPTION:Gorton is a bit\, well\, industrial\, and run down\, but it does boast of one of the most beautiful (former) churches in the country; a world heritage site no less - Gorton Monastery.    We meet there (in the Friars' Pantry) for a breathtaking tour of a breathtaking building\, followed by a short step across the eerie streets outside\, taking in stories of industrial imperialism and post-war dereliction\, returning for a bite of soul food.    The tour is led by Ed Glinert\, one of the monastery's official guides and joint founder of New Manchester Walks.

SUMMARY:Salford & Spinningfields Explorer
DESCRIPTION:A stroll through the heart of oldest Salford and newest Manchester - from Greengate\, condemned by communism pioneer Friedrich Engels in his infamous 1844 work\, "The Condition of the Working Class"\, to the glass-and-granite 21st century city epitomised by the new Civil Justice Centre; from the site of the prison where some of the last public hangings in British history took place to the towers designed by the world’s most famous architect\, Norman Foster. The locale is soaked in history from mediaeval times to today – as New Manchester Walks will unveil on this mesmerising walk.    * We start\, under a new deal\, from the King's Arms pub on Bloom Street.

SUMMARY:Smiths 30th Anniversary - Talk
DESCRIPTION:They were Britain’s greatest ever rock group; more melodic than the Beatles\, more powerful than the Stones\, cleverer than The Who\, catchier than U2\, funnier than Madness and better-looking than Jesus & Mary Chain (okay\, not hard). They played music that lifted the soul with words that sharpened the mind. They played both types of music: fast and slow\, soft and loud\, country and western (???)\, and they came from Manchester.    They were The Smiths.    They sang about the city and shot its sites for their sleeves: the Hacienda\, Manchester Central\, “a river the colour of lead”\, Coronation Street\, the Holy Name Church.    To mark the 30th anniversary of their founding\, Ed Glinert\, will be giving another of his dynamic\, hilarious and enthralling talks (following on from the excellently received "Manchester's Fiery Political Past" for the History Festival)\, this time on the history of Manchester's\, nay\, the world's greatest rock band (apart from Santana) at the wonderful King's Arms pub in Salford.

SUMMARY:Engels & Marx - 2

I’ve got to meet all my family and friends\, and tell them how good it was: It’s a 3-hour one\, this\, as we like giving value and want you to taste a bit of everything that Manchester has to offer\, so there's a break for refreshments half-way at a historic Manchester pub. When we finish you'll need a sit-down\, so we'll say farewell near the Royal Exchange or Cathedral where there are welcoming cafes.

SUMMARY:Manchester's Murder Mile - The Killing Fields
DESCRIPTION:More than a dozen weavers and workers butchered by the militia in August 1819. Mere children abducted from the Manchester streets in the so-called Swinging Sixties. An innocent Irishman knifed to death by the hangman with a pen-knife. A murder rate of one a week off Deansgate in the Victorian era. Hyman Perdovich murdering his work foreman in cold blood and then calmly handing himself in at the cop shop.    This is a dangerous walk. Best stay at hone with the curtains drawn and the door locked.

SUMMARY:Charles Dickens's Manchester - Portico Library Dickens Festival Special
DESCRIPTION:Bleak House starts with a one-word sentence: "London". Charles Dickens probably considered starting "Hard Times" with a similar one-word sentence: "Manchester"\, except that he hedged his bets by calling his mythical Northern city "Coketown".    Nevertheless the great novelist spent much time in Manchester\, appearing at The Athenaeum and Free Trade Hall\, and hanging loose with Harrison Ainsworth. To mark his 200th birthday we remember the best of times\, the worst of times.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Mancunian Way
DESCRIPTION:Faster than The Westway\, fiercer than the M25\, friendlier than the Road to Mandalay\, this is Manchester's only city centre motorway\, opened by the prime minister\, Harold Wilson\, in May 1967. However if you watch Life on Mars it was supposedly still being planned in 1973 when Sam Tyler\, the hero rises after his car crash.    The motorway\, officially the A57 (M) has long been shrouded in myth and secret\, strange history. why is there a stump leading off the outside lane by Upper Brook Street that just hangs in the air?    Did the planners really believe the landscaped areas within the roundabouts would be used by residents for relaxation rather than be avoided by anyone sane for fear of being mugged. And what on earht was on the site before the concrete was rammed through?    We will walk the safe parts\, away from the thunderous traffic\, on a sojourn through the urban undergrowth to reveal the hidden history of the highway in the sky.

SUMMARY:Fascist Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Despite its left-wing credentials\, Manchester has some shady political connections. The most infamous figure in British fascist history was Oswald Mosley\, 1930s leader of the British Union of Fascists. But he was also the 6th Baronet Mosley of Ancoats\, no less\, whose ancestors had been the lords of the manor of Manchester for hundreds of years.    Mosley often visited Manchester and would usually meet his deputy\, William Joyce\, who became the war-time traitor “Lord Haw-Haw”\, at the Midland Hotel\, a building the Nazis tried to avoid bombing during the second world war as they expected to capture the city and place their top brass therein once they had turned Manchester into a fascist city.    The fascists’ ’30s HQ was in Northumberland Street\, Broughton\, now\, wonderfully\, a yeshiva - a Jewish school.    But surely all that is in the long distant past and no fascist activity could happen here any more? Well\, let’s not forget that Nick Griffin is an elected political representative in Manchester who won a local seat for the European Parliament in 2009 standing on a fascist platform.    “No Pasaran – they shall not pass” was the anti-fascist rallying cry in the 1930s and it’s still needed now.

DESCRIPTION:The Round O’ Beef: gone. The Tripedressers’ Arms: shut. The Quiet Woman: rightly closed down by the PC police. But don’t fear\, old Salfordstill has some of the best pubs in drinksland.    The Eagle opposite Thomas Worthington’s Venetian-styled public baths is how a back-street boozer should be\, with a smattering of quiet rooms\, a Manchesterdart board (no trebles)\, Lowry prints and unshiftable locals. It's also the hardest-to-find pub in the North-West.    The King’s Arms on Bloom Street\, in the shadow of another formidable tower straight out of Renaissance Venice\, has its own theatre night.    The Oxford\, smart and snazzy by the old Town Hall\, is so esoteric in its beers it’s been dispensing bitters named after Newcastle United greats; let's hope the Tony Green is on.    If we’re still standing\, we’ll finish at The Crescent\, downhome and demesne\, spit-and-sawdusty\, the Red Dragon when Marx and Engels drank there in the 1840s. We’ll get the beers in before the Media City types turn up!

SUMMARY:Psychogeographic Manchester
DESCRIPTION:"Psychogeographic" has become a new buzz word\, but it's simply a way of unlocking the secret code that has formed the lay-out of the city and the shape of its buildings - with a nod to Freemasonry\, sacred geometry and the Kabbalah. Not too mind-blowing then. The notion was pioneered in the 80s by feted author Iain Sinclair who contributed to our guide Ed Glinert's much-heralded 2003 tome "The London Compendium".

DESCRIPTION:Sculpted stone statues; secluded and secret signs and symbols; immense impressive icons. They're everywhere on the streets of central Manchester. Ed Glinert leads this trail around Manchester's stone poses\, from Wellington and Watt to Gladstone and Chopin. Or as Michelangelo once explained\, "the statue was always there. I just chiselled away at the marble until I found it."

SUMMARY:Le Corbusier's Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Sixty-story steel skyscrapers segregating the city into superconcrete sectors. The shock of the new. It nearly happened…    Charles Edouard Jeanneret\, better known as Le Corbusier ("the crow") wasn't just the greatest architect who ever lived (well\, apart from Hawksmoor\, Voysey\, Maxwell Fry and Edgar Wood)\, he was a social visionary who created much of the way the 20th century looked.    Sadly he never came to Manchester but that didn't stop the city reforming itself according to his vision after the Second World War.

SUMMARY:Salford Cathedral & Churches
DESCRIPTION:A Catholic cathedral\, a 17th century place of worship and a Waterloo church. Salford Cathedral is also known as St John the Evangelist and was the first cruciform church to be built since the Reformation of the 1530s when it went up in the 1840s. After all\, it had been less than 20 years since the Catholic Emancipation Act.    Sacred Trinity on Chapel Street is one of the oldest places of worship in the area and was nearly bulldozed when Exchange Station was built in the 1880s.    St Philip's is a Waterloo Church\, one of around a hundred new establishments conceived on the wave of euphoria that greeted Wellington's victory over Napoleon's at Waterloo\, the authorities fearing that a godless people might become a revolutionary people.

SUMMARY:Manchester's Fiery Political Past
DESCRIPTION:No political revolution has ever been successful in Manchester. No charismatic political leader has emerged to seize power\, confidently expecting to tell the masses\, like Napoleon did to the French in 1799\, “The Revolution is over. I am the Revolution”.    Manchester might not do revolution\, but its history is coloured red. After all\, Manchester was where the single most dramatic political demonstration in English history – Peterloo – took place in 1819. Manchester was a major centre of Chartism\, stamping ground of Marx and Engels\, home of the early trades union movement\, and the city where the suffragette movement was founded.    So why then are there more statues of Tories – Wellington and Peel – than socialists within its boundaries?    Ed Glinert\, author of The Manchester Compendium\, one-time Trot\,  now beyond pedestrian party politics\, will lead this walk.

SUMMARY:Architecture - Histories Festival talk
DESCRIPTION:* Ed Glinert will be hosting a powerpoint presentation on Manchester architecture for the Manchester Histories Festival at the Portico Library on Tue 28 Feb at 6pm. It's free!    ***    “One can scarcely walk about Manchester without coming across frequent examples of the grand in architecture. There is nothing to equal it since the building of Venice.”    That's what The Builder magazine said about Manchester in the 1860s. The best view of Manchester’s architecture is from Salford. Stand on isolated\, lonely Oldfield Road\, off Salford Crescent\, by the dried up route of the Manchester\, Bolton and Bury Canal\, and look west\, and there it is: Manchester\, caught in a perspective of triumphant towers and soaring skyscrapers. Marvel at the sticking-out “drawers” of the Civil Justice Centre aside its formidable aluminium composite bulk and suspended glass wall\, the largest in Europe. Look in awe at the Art Deco fortress of Sunlight House\, and take in an intoxicating vision of the Beetham\, the subtlety of its shape now suitably sensed when removed by the long gap.    Walk from here into Manchester and the finer detailing of these facades becomes sharper. Central Manchester is dominated by 19th century architects’ desperation to re-create the traditional styles of Europe – Greek\, Gothic\, Italianate\, Baroque – on uncharted territory. Manchester has few original buildings\, just brilliant copies. The Memorial Hall on the corner of Albert Square and Southmill Street by Thomas Worthington is pure 15th century Venice. What’s left of the Free Trade Hall on nearby Peter Street is Edward Walters’ take on the Gran Guardia Vecchia in Verona. You want more Italy on the streets of Manchester? Head for the Athenaeum on Princess Street\, now part of the art gallery\, and behold a Florentine Palace that’s pure Palazzo Pandolfini by Raphael\, while inside ironically is a large collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings himself.    On the way\, you might head past Friends Meeting House on Mount Street. It’s Greek. Ancient Greek. The façade is based on the Temple on the Ilissus because Richard Lane\, designing in the 1820s\, believed that as Manchester had no cultural legacy the city should pay homage to the territory where modern ideas of aesthetics\, art and architecture were shaped. Not that everybody was impressed with the slew of Classical revival buildings he created. The Builder magazine for instance derided his work (Chorlton-on-Medlock Town Hall\, St Thomas’s Pendleton) as looking like a factories with the front of temples stuck on.    At least in modern times Manchester has begun to originate. The Bruntwood-owned Bank Chambers/Bank House on Faulkner Street\, between Piccadilly Gardens and Chinatown\, is a magnificent segue of big tower and little tower on a concrete podium. It was designed by Fitzroy\, Robinson in 1971 and appropriately is home to Fairhurst’s\, the most prolific architects in Manchester history. Pity it will need another hundred years before its brutalist beauty and granite-and-glass glamour are fully appreciated.

SUMMARY:Charles Dickens's Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Bleak House starts with a one-word sentence: "London". Charles Dickens probably considered starting "Hard Times" with a similar one-word sentence: "Manchester"\, except that he hedged his bets by calling his mythical Northern city "Coketown".    Nevertheless the great novelist spent much time in Manchester\, appearing at The Athenaeum and Free Trade Hall\, and hanging loose with Harrison Ainsworth. To mark his 200th birthday we remember the best of times\, the worst of times.    * The walk is being promoted by the Portico Library\, which is running a Dickens Festival and which we shall visit.

This is the first time Manchester tour guides have chosen to examine the murals in detail\, without touring the rest of the building - the usual Town Hall tours not allowing enough time to look at more than a couple of the paintings closely.    Once again New Manchester Walks finds new ways to open up the city's history to the public.

SUMMARY:The Manchester Architecture Trail
DESCRIPTION:    Merchants’ palaces\, Gothic towers\, Baroque fantasies and Classical temples: Manchester city centre is lined with architectural splendour\, from the soaring spires of Manchester Town Hall to the mathematical purity of the Friends’ Meeting House; from the exquisite Renaissance effects of the Athenaeum to the Art Deco embellishments of Sunlight House.    No wonder the Builder magazine once described Manchester as “a more interesting city to walk over than London. One can scarcely walk about Manchester without coming across frequent examples of the grand in architecture. There is nothing to equal it since the building of Venice.    On "The Manchester Architecture Trail"\, we take you through the city’s streets - on a different route each week - looking at its most impressive buildings\, era by era\, style by style\, architect by architect\, showing off Manchester’s first designer buildings from the early 19th century right through the ages to today’s stunning skyscrapers.

Come with us through the picturesque vistas and striking townscapes of Victoria Park - what the Manchester Guardian's celebrated critic Neville Cardus once memorably described as a "sequestered purlieu" - home of the rich and famous for over a hundred years (Richard Cobden\, Charles Halle\, Ford Madox Brown) before it went corporate and varsitial\, but still the location of the most extraordinary building in Manchester: Edgar Wood's expressionist 1st Church of Christ Scientist.    We will finish at Victoria Baths where there is an open day.

SUMMARY:Town Hall Murals
DESCRIPTION:      Ed Glinert takes a detailed look at Ford Madox Brown's 12 ingenious and brilliantly detailed panels of Manchester and English history that decorate the extraordinary Great Hall of Manchester Town Hall.    This is the first time Manchester tour guides have chosen to examine the murals in detail\, without touring the rest of the building - the usual Town Hall tours not allowing enough time to look at more than a couple of the paintings closely. Once again New Manchester Walks finds new ways to open up the city's history to the public.

SUMMARY:Concrete Jungle
DESCRIPTION:1960s architecture: unloved\, unwanted\, unwelcome. Buildings that gave architecture a bad name. Actually those brutalist concrete monsters that so disfigured our cities (The Shambles\, Lowry House) mostly went up in the 70s. The 60s was a decade of daring design\, even if the philistine Manchester planners are taking them down before our eyes. So let's give praise to Quay House and what's left of Manchester House\, and worship at the foot of the Renold Building.

SUMMARY:Old Jewish Ghetto (Cheetham Hill trail)
DESCRIPTION:Manchester's Jewish community first appeared in numbers in the late 18th century around the parish church (!); well\, that was the old town. Gradually Manchester Jews began to move north\, first to Strangeways (the area\, not the prison\, you schmerel)\, then Cheetham Hill\, Hightown\, Prestwich and eventually Whitefield.    Only London has a bigger Jewish population in Britain than Manchester. But only Manchester has a Torah Street (with its own bacon-curing factory; really!) and a prison built like a mosque in the heart of the ghetto. And that's apart from a history embracing that rogue Robert Maxwell\, the rich-beyond-rich Nathan Meyer Rothschild\, and the rabidly irreligious Karl Marx - all Yiddisher fellers.

SUMMARY:Nuclear Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Cold War terror and the Soviet threat. Reds under the beds\, the Fourth Man\, the Fifth Man. The very existence of the atom was proved first in Manchester in 1803\, and Manchester was where the tiny little thing was split apart a hundred years later. That's why the world has the bomb. That's why the world is forever poised on a knife-edge for fear of nuclear war. That's why Manchester has a Peace Garden. That's why we have this walk.

And towering over the place was Britain's most notorious prison\, Strangeways\, its very name enough to send a frisson of fear down the spine of even the most hardened criminal.    We will explore the intricate back alleys of this desperate downhome demesne\, hanging about outside the prison walls to take in torrid tales of escapes\, hangings and prison riots.

DESCRIPTION:Bleak House starts with a one-word sentence: "London".

Nevertheless the great novelist spent much time in Manchester\, appearing at The Athenaeum and Free Trade Hall\, and hanging loose with Harrison Ainsworth. To mark his 200th birthday we remember the best of times\, the worst of times.

The city centre is lined with architectural splendour\, from the soaring spires of the Town Hall to the mathematical purity of the Friends’ Meeting House and the exquisite Renaissance effects of the Athenaeum.     No wonder the “Builder” magazine once described Manchester as “a more interesting city to walk over than London. One can scarcely walk about Manchester without coming across frequent examples of the grand in architecture. There is nothing to equal it since the building of Venice.”

We will be exploring the picturesque vistas and striking townscapes of what the Manchester Guardian's Neville Cardus once memorably described as a "sequestered purlieu" - home of the rich and famous for over a hundred years (Richard Cobden\, Charles Halle\, Ford Madox Brown\, a perfumier who left on the Titanic) and then went corporate and governmental\, with a prison for absconding GIs and even more gruesome university halls of residence. We will finish at Victoria Baths where there should be a tour run by the Baths people.

DESCRIPTION:Science Festival Special -       “The switch was pressed and immediately the spots on the display tube entered a mad dance. It was a moment to remember. Nothing was ever the same again.”     That was how Fred Williams described the amazing moment when he and Fred Kilburn turned on the world’s first ever computer – here in Manchester in 1948.     What a breakthrough\, but it wasn’t Manchester’s only scientific claim to fame. Here in 1803 John Dalton first explained how matter was made up of atoms. Here the world’s first passenger railway station opened in 1830\, and here in 1917 the atom was first split\, ushering in the nuclear age.     Manchester truly is the city of science.

We unveil what's below your feet on the mean streets and then follow the old canal from its gorgeous landscaped setting behind the Bridgewater Canal into the very bowels of Manchester\, a lightless world where the wind never blows\, the sun never shines and you can't be sure the hand you can't see in front of your face is your own.

SUMMARY:Town Hall Tour
DESCRIPTION:Manchester’s municipal palace in all its grand Gothic glory comes alive with a tour led by Ed Glinert\, author of "The Manchester Compendium".    This is the de-luxe tour - from the towering spires on the skyline to the mosaics on the foyer floor; from the flowing cotton tendrils in the state rooms to the ouroborus snake at the entrance; from the missing statue in the empty niche of the Great Hall to the tale of John Wycliffe's bones defining the fifth Ford Madox Brown mural.

SUMMARY:Tales of the Manchester Dead
DESCRIPTION:Tragic deaths and accidental deaths. Hoax deaths and bloody deaths. Death by hanging\, death by shooting\, instant death and slow tortuous death.    These are gruesome\, ghastly and ghostly stories\, especially when they involve those who weren’t supposed to be dead.    Take the case of Manchester man John Beswick. He woke up some time in 1750 to find himself in a confined space\, and then realised it was his own coffin. He banged on the roof\, and was rather relieved to find a crowd of people on the other side ready to release him. They were the mourners at his funeral. He wasn't dead; just resting.

SUMMARY:Pubs of Old Manchester
DESCRIPTION:These are the pubs that time forgot\, where Manchester floats on a sea of mild and bitter\, and ‘gastro’ means Holt’s rather than haute cuisine.    We'll drop into Mother Mac’s which is not exactly forgotten but that a pain to find in the first place\, and you’re never likely to chance past the place given its back street location.    Older\, odder and even harder to spot is the Jolly Angler - odder because it closes in the afternoons\, like proper boozers used to in the good old days before the licensing laws were loosened. They’ll open up for us though.

SUMMARY:Cathedral & Chetham’s
DESCRIPTION:The centre of mediaeval Manchester\, an ancient place of worship and Europe’s oldest library. The origins of the Cathedral are obscure but there was probably a Saxon church on the site. How else can we explain the discovery of the 8th Century Angel Stone in the rubble outside when work was carried out in Victorian times?    The Cathedral started to attain its current look after Henry V approved its promotion into a collegiate church - a church with a college of priests attached - in 1421. It would be 400 years or so before the Collegiate Church of Manchester became Manchester Cathedral.    Chetham's next door is a miracle. Barely spoilt blocks of Tudor sandstone shape its cloisters and corners. History seeps from ever pore. A manor house for the Lord of Manchester; a college of priests; a school for poor boys; a library where Marx and Engels researched "The Communist Manifesto"; a prestigious music school - all these vie for space and attention within its antiquated walls.

SUMMARY:Best, Law, Charlton
DESCRIPTION:George Best was the greatest player ever to come out of the British Isles. A mercurial winger\, a dazzling dribbler\, a magician\, a maverick. As the saying goes. Maradona good; Pele better; George best.     Denis Law was European Footballer of the Year in 1964. A great showman and one of the greatest goal poachers the game has ever produced. George Best said about Law: “If a pass from Denis Law failed to reach you it was odds-on that you were not thinking fast enough to be in the right place for it.”    And as for Bobby Charlton\, this was what Matt Busby said in 1972: “The name of Bobby Charlton will stand for ever. In fact we may be too close to his great playing career to appreciate the full significance of his contribution to professional football. Time will undoubtedly add to Charlton’s stature rather than diminish it.” Now will anyone ever say that about Didier Drogba?
