The Manchester Peace Trail

With Steve Roman of the Victorian Society

– The Manchester Peace Trail covers sites connected with the growth of Manchester as the world’s first industrial city and its importance as a centre for peace and radical political activity. As well as passing some highlights of Manchester’s Victorian and Edwardian buildings, themes on the walk will include
Peterloo, the popular reform and suffrage movements, Free Trade and free thinking
John Dalton, the “nuclear time-line”, the Peace Garden and the Nobel Peace Prize
Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, and the campaign against chattel slavery
Starting at Oxford Road Station, Manchester at 1.00pm, there will be a break for afternoon tea/coffee at the Portico Library (1806) and we will finish at approximately 4.30pm back at Oxford Road Station.
