Curious Mancunians… find out about Manchester’s hidden water history by joining @ericamukh and @CharlotteCoull on their @mcrhistfest event: More Than A ‘Foul Drain’: A Walking Tour of Manchester’s Water History. Starts TOMORROW 9th June until 12th June. manchesterhistories.co.uk/ev…
Canal tow ropes were cotton, but they picked up dirt and gravel as they were dragged behind horses. That is why you get deep wear marks on the edges of some canal bridges. Learn more about Manchester's water history 9-12 June. #environhist #MHF2022 @mcrhistfest

If you’ve noticed that the map has been missing the underlying map bit, apologies! It should be working now. I’ve updated the site to accommodate some changes from Mapbox, and endeavoured to keep it looking as close to the way it did before.

Wow, busy month! A Facebook post’s generated a lot of traffic & I’ve got a bill for the mapping service as I’m over allowance. I’m suspending the map for a few days until it resets as the map doesn’t generate revenue. Sorry for the inconvenience & thanks for the interest!

And we are back online. I’ll try to monitor usage to avoid a big bill again, so if you see it suspended, get in touch about sponsorship! 🙂

It was great to visit Walker’s Croft this evening for A Drunk Pandemic with @chimpomworks as part of @MIFestival.

We are beyond chuffed to announce that Staircase House and Stockport Museum have been awarded a raft of recent awards and accolades. These awards are only possible with the hard work and dedication of our teams. Well done all :-D goo.gl/oTibh4

Gore Brook, running through Birchfields Park. It runs through long culverts both sides of the park, moving under the city unnoticed I found this map on the excellent Hidden #Manchester site that charts its course hidden-manchester.org.uk/wat… Many more rivers & tunnels on @HiddenManc
