Now I knew the walk and talk through Manchester’s old Jewish Community, would be good, and according to Bernard it was.
Sadly I missed it but Bernard posted the pictures on face book and left a commentary of the day.
And here it is.
"Bill starts the walk outside Chethams and on the spot at 144 Long Millgate where stood the Nathan Brother's house, one of the first places where the itinerant Jewish pedlars first settled in Manchester
Bill talks to the group at the bottom of CheethaM Hill Road, opposite what was the Red Bank district whose poverty was described by Engels in The Condition of the Working Class in England, and in which many of the Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe settled
Bill is appalled that no recognition is given to this historically important community and the district has now been renamed the "Green Quarter" to help sell the new blocks of flats — with
Bill talks to the group opposite what was the Redbank district where many of the first Jewish immigrants from Easter Europe settled
The new synagogue, built almost next door to the Great Synagogue now demolished
Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the walk and talk -many thanks, Bill"
