About this event
Here’s what’s going to happen. We will start at Central Library, built to look like not only the Pantheon of Rome but the long-lost Pantheon of London. We will then take you to:
• Meet one of the most formidable women in British history.
• The hotel where Rolls didn’t meet Royce.
• The site of Britain’s most dramatic political protest.
• The building where modern Manchester music began.
• The greatest Gothic revival library in the country.
• The most spectacular new religious paintings of the 20th century.
• The parliament of the cotton lords, now one of Britain’s most celebrated theatres.
…and more
