What a change? Is there any place in the UK which has changed so utterly in the last ten years than this area? With a cracking interior visit inside one of the special buildings in Ancoats, we track the changes by strolling the streets, crossing canals and telling the stories.
This is a combination of epoch-making industrial architecture, some bad new build, some excellent new build, a bit of fine ecclesiastical work and lots of lovely bread, beer, food and given all those canals, lots of geese. But we can dodge them.
So calling all new residents in Ancoats and New Islington or all the people who visit to enjoy that damn fine food and drink and let’s experience a superb area with a winsome stroll. We may even linger on after the tour enjoying the local hospitality ourselves.
Meet: In Cutting Room Square, Ancoats, M4 5AF
