This guided history tour in Manchester features stories of deaths, and particularly corpses, in the city’s past, and highlights the lives of the real people involved.
We will look at how Mancunians of the 18th and 19th Centuries reacted to death and respected (or not) the dead. Hear stories of burials and graveyards, dissections and an Anatomy school, how the dead could be punished, and a desecrating act that caused a riot.
