Some secrets
* Did you know there is an atomic bunker under Piccadilly Gardens and Chinatown with a branch leading to the Town Hall?
* That L. S. Lowry was a secret sadist.
* Did you know there were race riots in the city during the Second World War following the arrival of an invading army.
* Did you know that the pillar box on Corporation Street is NOT the one that survived the 1996 IRA bomb?
* Did you know the council once voted to demolish the Town Hall?
* Do you know how many secret service agents are in the Midland Hotel right now planting bugs and other dodgy devices?
Damn, you do now, but come on the tour anyway. It’s the Manchester that nobody knows…apart from Ed Glinert and you after you’ve been on this tour!
