Albert Square

A private tour of Manchester and journey through the heart of the city, starting at the iconic Midland Hotel, where pivotal meetings between Jewish leaders and British officials, including Chaim Weizmann and Winston Churchill, shaped the future of Jewish history. Wander through Albert Square, a bustling hub of Victorian grandeur, and feel the pulse of the city as you learn about its Jewish history. Stop by The Shul in the City, where echoes of community life resonate, and discover the historic role of Manchester’s Jewish community. As you stroll, our Expert Guide will share tales of resilience, survival, and triumph that shaped the Jewish experience in Manchester.

The John Rylands Library

Next, admire the awe-inspiring John Rylands Library from the outside, a Gothic Revival masterpiece. Though not directly linked to Jewish history, its grand architecture and rich legacy reflect Manchester’s commitment to knowledge and cultural preservation—a fitting backdrop for our tour’s narrative as your guide shares its storey. Continue on to Saint Ann’s Church, where the layers of Manchester’s history are palpable, blending stories of faith and community.

The Shambles

We then visit Shambles Square, a picturesque corner that survived the city’s redevelopment and bombing raids of World War II. The square stands as a testament to the city’s resilience, much like the Jewish community that flourished here against all odds. Your journey concludes at the majestic Manchester Cathedral, a symbol of hope and renewal, offering breathtaking views of the cityscape and the River Irwell. Throughout the tour, your Private Guide will illuminate Manchester’s Jewish heritage, drawing connections between landmarks and poignant historical moments, such as the impact of World War II and stories of those who found refuge in the city. The guide’s expert insights reveal not just the visible monuments, but the untold stories of courage, community, and the indomitable spirit of Manchester’s Jewish people.
