MANCHESTER TOURS - The ZOOM series
And you don’t even have to leave the house.
'Many thanks for this evening’s Zoom tour. It was excellent.' Paul Wood, 18 June 2020
I’m perking up Zoom with a whole series of tours of Manchester, Salford and area filled with fascinating content and loads of entertainment.
There’ll be beautiful images of the city past, present and future plus stories galore. There’ll be music and maps. Laughs and serious themes will all be part of the package.
There’ll be a whole of array of illuminating material to make the experience as immersive and comprehensive as possible.
The tours have an introductory price of £6 each, or you can buy 6 tours for just £25 and save £9. I have tested these tours and people love them.
Further details and the exciting themes are here.

'Thanks, I will definitely buy another one. Learning so much about a city I was born and bred in but just didn’t know anything about the place , it seems . Don’t live there now but go back most years so will see places in a different life now thanks to you.'

Here's my favourite quote about Manchester in its nascent industrial days from Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society in 1875. Its meaning is self-evident and although it refers to science the sentiment applies to every other field of endeavour.
‘Men, however great their learning often become indolent and unambitious to improve in knowledge for want of associating with others of similar talents and improvements. But science, like fire, is put in motion by collision. Where a number of such men have frequent opportunities of meeting and conversing together, thought begets thought, and every hint is turned to advantage. A spirit of enquiry glows in every breast.’
