3.30pm Thursday 13 October
Sponsored by the National Trust
FREE: please book by emailing me on event@jonathanschofieldtours.com
This is a rollicking, rumbustious, roller-coaster of a tour looking at the individuals who have lived, worked, visited, drank, loved and died in Castlefield. The tour is lots of fun with poignancy thrown in too, mentioning famous folk, The Duke of Bridgewater, James Brindley, George Stevenson, the Duke of Wellington, Fanny Kemble, Friedrich Engels, Mary Burns, Frederick Douglass and Neville Cardus among others, but also people who never made the headlines but made their lives in Castlefield. There’s also the scandalously wild Knott Mill Fair to consider.
Meet: Castlefield Viaduct, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 4LG
Finish: Castlefield Viaduct, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M3 4LG
Duration: one and a half hours
Sensible footwear is best and you will have to agree to the terms and conditions of visiting any site as stated by the guide when you turn up. On rare occasions some areas will not be available to visit.
PLEASE CHECK THIS WEBSITE 24 HOURS BEFORE THE TOUR IN CASE A SITUATION ARISES WHICH MAY AFFECT THE TOUR.
