Where does Manchester get its water from? How has the city used water over the centuries? And how has water shaped the Manchester we know now? Join us and get to know Manchester’s water on a deeper level. We’ll meet in front of the Museum of Science and Industry and walk to Canal Street. On the way we’ll talk hard water, soft water, floods, and mud. We’ll chat about canal building, how to reshape a river, the horrors of cholera and mythical water monsters. We’ll even meet a hidden river running out of sight beneath the city streets.
