DESCRIPTION:This tour takes visitors on a journey from the beginnings of 
 England’s first civic university to the sites of world changing discover
 ies. It begins within the fine neo-gothic architecture of the University
 ’s Old Quadrangle and tells the story of Owens College\, which would bec
 ome England’s first civic university. \n\nFounded from the philanthropy

 ions of modern computing.\n\nBooking is essential: http://www.eventbrite
