city beneath our streets


A fascinating book has been published about the city beneath the streets of Manchester. Underground Manchester, by local historian Keith Warrender, tells of the 18,000 people who lived in city centre cellars during Victorian times, and a subterranean shooting gallery and bowling alley, as well as the numerous Cold War bunkers that have long been talked about.
I had a flick through the book when I was writing the story for the MEN and the pictures are great…may even get a copy myself.
