The Lunch Hour 4: Castlefield: history and development

 

At the heart of Manchester’s transport development in the Industrial Revolution, by 1970 Castlefield was a forgotten area of scrap yards, barbed wire fences, guard dogs and unsavoury night-time activities. Today it is a conservation area and a vibrant part of modern Manchester. Join us to find out what makes Castlefield such a remarkable part of the city.

The walk will be led by architect Ken Moth, an expert on building conservation.
