I know Manchester very well and visiting this library for a second time after many years was great. Several of us took the tour with Patrick who was excellent. So this was the first free public library going back a few hundred years. I guess few could take advantage all those years ago as few people were literate. And I was surprised to learn how few locals from greater Manchester actually visit!

Booked a guided tour here since I was in town for the Oasis concert. It was a great tour! So much history and loved being in the same place where Engels and Marx “hung out”. Quick tour, would highly recommend stopping by if you are visiting the great city of Manchester!

Great tour, guides were great and what a fascinating place steeped in history. Recommend to anyone from the Manchester region in particular!
