The Bee that Never Sleeps

The Bee that Never Sleeps explores the many stories, experiences and moments that have created Manchester’s distinctive sense of civic pride. From its transformation during the Industrial Revolution and the lives of the people who worked in its mills and factories, to the communities, culture and changing identities that followed, the magazine looks beyond the familiar image of Manchester. It reveals how resilience, creativity, community and a determination to shape change have contributed to the city we know today and to the pride people continue to feel in calling Manchester home.
