SUMMARY:Tour the Old Jewish Ghetto of Manchester
DESCRIPTION:“The Old Jewish Ghetto of Manchester” \nThis tour: Thursday 21 May 2026.\nMeet: Victoria Station wallmap\, 11 am. \nBooking: Please press here to book with Eventbrite. \n*** \nHere’s the full S.P.\nThe Manchester area is home to Britain’s second biggest Jewish community. Yet it was not until 1788\, just over a hundred years after Oliver Cromwell allowed the Jews to return to the country\, that the first recorded Jewish presence appeared in Manchester: Hamilton Levi\, a flower dealer of Long Millgate\, listed in that year’s trade directory. \nIronically\, Manchester’s first Jewish community settled around the parish church (what is now Manchester Cathedral)\, for that was where the old town was located. \nLike the Germans and Irish who were settling locally at the same time\, the Jews saw in Manchester\, cradle of the industrial revolution\, opportunities for trade. They opened their first synagogue in 1794 in a warehouse on Garden Street\, a barely noticeable alley at the side of what is now the Printworks\, the building long gone\, near their burial ground. It was paid for by Samuel Solomon\, a well-known quack doctor\, responsible for the supposed cure-all “Balm of Gilead” which could allegedly cure all ills.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Salford's Centenary (Salford Quays Tour)
DESCRIPTION:Next tour: Friday 22 May 2026.\nMeet: Salford Quays Metrolink stop\, 2 p.m.  \nBooking: Please press here to book with Eventbrite. \nHuge docks which once harboured the world’s ocean-going liners. Gleaming museums of the modern age. A world famous canal\, as deep as Suez\, as powerful as the Panama. \n \nHere a new city has risen; a city of glass\, steel and burnished metal\, bold and brilliant. On one side of the water the silver shards of the Imperial War Museum North. On the other the Lowry Centre\, a matchless theatre for the matchstick figure artist. And they have now been joined by Media City\, the futuristic home of the BBC. \nAlongside\, stretches the water\, filling the old Manchester Docks\, cleaned and spruced for leisure and pleasure. \nWe explore the new city on the old canal\, switching to and from the hi-tech world of today to the days when the Port of Manchester thrived as the 4th largest in the country.

SUMMARY:Emmeline Pankhurst’s Manchester
DESCRIPTION:Next Tour: No dates yet.\nMeet: At the Emmeline Pankhurst Statue\, St Peter’s Square.\nBooking: Please press here to book with Evenbrite. \nIt is now more than a hundred and five years (1 December 1919) since a woman entered the British Parliament for the first time. American socialite Nancy Astor won a by-election for the Unionists in Plymouth Sutton\, ironically replacing her husband\, Waldorf Astor\, who had just been ennobled. \nThe campaign to win women the vote and the right to enter the Commons had been raging ever since more than a dozen people were killed and hundreds injured at the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester in 1819. Henry Hunt\, the main speaker at the Peterloo rally that never happened\, later became the first MP to put forward a bill to allow women to vote in general elections. But that was back in the 1830s. Two generations later the Pankhurst family took over the campaign\, leading one of the most bitter and brutal political battles in British history\, for many years from Manchester. \nPartial victory was celebrated in 1918 when (some) women were at last allowed to vote and stand. One woman was elected\, but never took her seat. A year later Nancy Astor made up for it. \nHear the full story on this eye-opening guided tour. \n \n!!STOP PRESS!!\nThis is the only Pankhurst tour which goes to the Pankhursts’ shop (yes\, I bet you didn’t know they had a shop in Manchester city centre!) and gives the accurate political background to the infamous Free Trade Hall rally in October 1905. \nWe have made a forensic and in-depth study of this extraordinary story. Discover Manchester’s cataclysmic connections… \n…read on below. \n  \nFurther study\nIn August 1819 at least a dozen people were killed demonstrating for the right to vote at St Peter’s Fields\, Manchester. Nearly a hundred years later\, in 1903\, the Pankhurst family\, disgusted with the Independent Labour Party’s refusal to allow women to use the newly-opened Pankhurst Hall in north Manchester\, founded the Women’s Social and Political Union to step up the campaign for the right of women to have the vote in parliamentary elections. \nWhat had been a sedate pressure group\, willing to stay within the law to change the law\, soon became militant. The women suffrage supporters (“suffragettes\,” the Daily Mail called them) disrupted a Liberal Party rally in the Free Trade Hall in 1905 and two of their leaders – Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney – were jailed. Manchester had become Suffragette City\, but it took a generation and many thousands of broken windows for women to secure the vote. \nThis is a walk in memory of the Pankhursts – Emmeline\, Christabel and Sylvia – fierce campaigners\, resolute radicals. We visit their haunts\, outline their struggle and follow in their footsteps. \nAn excerpt from the walk\nWhen Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney were arrested for disrupting the Liberal Party’s political rally at the Free Trade Hall in October 1905 they were taken first to a cell in Manchester Town Hall and then to Strangeways Prison. \nSoon one of the leading Liberal politicians of the day turned up at the prison offering to pay the women’s fines so that they could be quickly released. The philanthropic politician was none other than Winston Churchill\, MP for Oldham\, who had recently crossed the floor from the Conservative benches. But was this really a welcome move or just a cynical one? Surely if the women agreed to his offer he could champion himself as being in control of them …
