Event Information
Event description
Nobody knows Manchester like Ed Glinert, official tour guide, Penguin author, cruise ships speaker, who's only been studying it for 44 years
About this event
* Did you know the pillar box on Corporation is NOT the one that survived the 1996 IRA bomb?
* Have you spotted spies from MI5 or MI9 going in and out of the Midland Hotel? Of course not. They're disguised.
* Did you know L S Lowry wasn't simply a kindly avuncular old gent? He had a well dodgy side.
* Did you know the security services foiled an assassination attempt on one of our best-loved prime ministers outside the Free Trade Hall?
* Did you know that Manchester used to revel in the hangings at Strangeways. It wasn't so long ago!
* Did you know that Rolls and Royce never met at the Midland Hotel?
No, but Ed Glinert does, which is why you're coming on this tour.
