  • A weekend exploring the city of Manchester and the neighbouring Peak District.
    Nick & Amy give James and I a tour of Manchester, including walking down the canals, learning about the history of the industrial revolution, movie locations, Alan Turing and the new Media City.
    We also head to Peak District for the day to walk up to Bamford Edge.

    Sorry to be pernickety, but factcheck at 7:07 - the textile industry was centred in that region because the rainy climate suited grazing sheep (for wool) and the cultivation of flax (for linen). It was not to grow cotton there - no cotton was grown in the Manchester region. All the raw cotton was imported from the Americas and South Asia for subsequent manufacture into garments.

    I don't think the cotton was actually grown in Manchester. USA, slave trade? It's all in the history books.
    And the guy who designed the Beetham Tower was actually only 4 at the time, and hadn't got the Leggo with the curved pieces yet..
    Nice video, Karl (and friends). Keep up the good work.

    The area around Salford Quays used to be rough as back in the day. I remember playing a football match there as a teenager for my local 11 a side team in Manchester and being sworn at by the parents of the opposing side and felt that we could get lynched at any moment, well maybe im exaggerating but tou get my point.

    I enjoyed the 2nd part of the blog as the journey around manchester can be undertaken by anyone who wants a town blog,I wander towns and have been to Manchester a few times and it is not a city that impresses me. It might also be because as a Scouser I find my old home city better with older things I enjoy seeing LOL.
    Some of the walks near manchester are great, particularly as you are in the Peak District, had you done a day' or days of exploring that area I think it would have been better.
    Well done for trying something different,
