The fascinating and stirring story of the creation of a planned posh suburb, the changes over time, its relationship with Alexandra Park, it mighty buildings, its churches and its people.

There are tales of bravery and of farce, there are laughs and there is drama. There is music of course, and stories of lost aquariums, pleasure gardens and mighty mansions.

If you live in the area or are looking for a tour that's a bit different and focuses on an area outside the city centre, then this tour will not disappoint.

Meeting Point: The north-eastern gates of Alexandra Park at the junction of Claremont Road and Smalldale Avenue
Finish Point: Close to the Hilary Step bar on Upper Chorlton Road
