In this video, I will take you on a tour to Manchester (UK). This video is Part 2 to the one upload previously. Please make sure to watch Part 1 before proceeding on this tour.
Manchester was the first city in the world to commemorate its LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) past by commissioning a local artist to set rainbow tiles into flagstones across the city, marking historical LGBT places of interest.
• Manchester was the birthplace of Vegetarianism. Inspired by the sermons of Reverend William Cowherd, the vegetarian movement began in 1809, in the borough of Salford. Now visitors can book themselves onto a cookery course at the Cordon Vert School, based at the headquarters of The Vegetarian Society.
• In 1903 Mancunian Emmeline Pankhurst found the Women’s Social and Political Union, later known as the Suffragettes. Emmeline dedicated her life to the campaign for women’s votes and the Pankhurst Centre, previously Emmeline’s home, displays the work and struggle of the women Suffragettes.
• Canal Mania’ began in 1761 when The Bridgewater Canal, affectionately known as the ‘Duke’s Cut’, became the first man-made waterway in Britain. Visitors can take a walk or trip along the many canals within Greater Manchester.
