Street Art: The Modern History of the Northern Quarter

$19.11

Viator

Explore the back streets for urban art & discover how ceramic art transformed the area into the city's coolest district. We cast a critical eye & learn about issues facing the city from social justice to public spaces, and look at the ethics behind public art itself. The tour tracks the transformation of the Northern Quarter since the 1970s when it was in decline in the wake of our first American-style shopping mall, the Arndale Centre, opening. The area, the one with the highest density of protected buildings in the city, was cited by cultural icon Tony Wilson in the 90s as being 'our Detroit' owing to a mass evacuation of businesses. It was art that turned the area around from 1998 onwards. The tour discovers the original ceramic art trail & uses more modern street art in order to weave together the narrative. We also take a dive into AirBnBs, gentrification, public space & where to sit down. I donate 10% profit to local causes. Sustainable, thoughtful & inclusive tourism

The culinary scene in Manchester is as diverse as its population, offering a global gastronomic journey. However, traditional British dishes still hold a special place in the city’s heart. A must-try is the Manchester Tart, a delightful concoction of raspberry jam, custard, and coconut flakes. For savory lovers, the Eccles Cake, although originating from a nearby town, has become a local staple, offering flaky pastry filled with spiced currants. The Corn Exchange and Mackie Mayor are food hubs where these, among other local and international dishes, can be savored. Discovering Manchester’s food scene is akin to exploring its culture - diverse and utterly satisfying.
