Discover the people and places of Manchester in poetry. Green Badge tour guide Anne Beswick takes us on a journey of some of the city’s most significant buildings and streets, and introduces us to the work of essential poets such as Allan Ahlberg, John Cooper Clarke, Carol Ann Duffy, John Ormond, Lemn Sissay and Mike Harding. Forget daffodils and plashy brooks and think rain, football, cathedral building and revolution!
