The Story of Manchester

Starting location: Lower Byrom St

In the Manchester of 1913 (and in other large parts of the world) women\'s rights are in a poor state. Voting is out of the question, they are still not full members of universities, and divorce is practically impossible. Emmeline Pankhurst, with other members of the WSPU, has been on the warpath against this injustice for ten years.

In April 1913, Emmeline plants a bomb on British politician Lloyd George. Not much later, the activist was arrested and sentenced in absentia to only 3 years in prison. A small stroke of luck, because it could just as easily have been 14 years. Emmeline decides to flee. She has heard of Manchester's secret exit, but where is it...? Will the radical feminist manage to stay out of the hands of the police?

"We really enjoyed the experience, alhough it did take us quite a long time. A few of the clues proved beyond us, but we did like walking around the older buildings and looking at them in a different way"

"Excellent and informative way to spend a couple (well three in our case!) of hours solving the mystery around the streets and sights of Manchester. Don't worry if you get some clues wrong as you get a nother chance at the end to get any missing letters. Enjoy!"

"Unfortunately, the day we chose it rained the whole time and spoilt the fun. However, we enjoyed the challenge and the walk around the centre of Manchester. It gives you a different perspective of the locations & buildings and opens your eyes to things you had noticed previously in your home city. "
