This walk will take you on a circuit around Ancoats and New Islington. So much has changed in this area in the past few years, and new buildings are springing up around you. But all kinds of things lie beneath your feet that you’ll never see, from a river that powered the industrial revolution in Manchester to an underground pub. Take a little time to enjoy the canals that have shaped Ancoats and find out about underground Ancoats and the traces of the many generations who walked here before you.
