The Manchester Regional Group serves all of Greater Manchester and further into Cheshire, Lancashire and the High Peak. Our main activity is providing events for members and the wider public in the region: talks on Victorian and Edwardian architecture, arts and society in autumn and winter, walks and trips in spring and summer, and visits to buildings as appropriate. We also produce a quality email newsletter three times a year.
The Group publishes the online Biographical Dictionary of Greater Manchester Architects, 1800-1940 manchestervictorianarchitects.org.uk compiled and updated by retired architect Neil Darlington.
Join The Victorian Society.
The battle to save Victorian and Edwardian buildings is far from over.
Members can read our membership magazine, enjoy priority booking for our events, be part of our regional groups across the country and with many more benefits.
