Best-selling author Brian Groom will take us through the rich and vivid history of Manchester, which exported industry and commerce to all others and whose culture is celebrated globally. Based on his new book, this illustrated talk will tell the city’s story from Roman times.
It will cover pioneering figures such as scientist John Dalton, novelist Elizabeth Gaskell, suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, politician Ellen Wilkinson and singer and actress Gracie Fields. It will examine Manchester’s late 20th-century decline and recent rebirth – and ask where the city and its region are heading in the 21st century.
