This was a comprehensive walking (and tram) tour of Manchester from its beginnings as a Roman garrison at the start of the Christian era to present day

Jutta took me on a comprehensive walking tour of the city center area of Manchester. We started (appropriately) with the Roman walls of the first settlement in Manchester. From there we went to the other areas of the city.
