Red Flag Walks

Taking history on to the streets

Programme for May 2013

Saturday 18 May, 10.45am The Story of Peterloo

Meeting point: Friends Meeting House, Mount Street

On 16 August 1819 an unarmed, peaceful crowd, gathered in the centre of Manchester to demand political rights, was attacked by the military, resulting in many deaths and injuries. This walk will explore the political background and trace the events on the day. £6/£5

Sunday 26 May, 2pm, Radical Ashton-under-Lyne

Meeting point: Ashton-under-Lyne Town Hall

This walk will explore a number of episodes in Ashton-under-Lyne’s radical history, including the political career of socialist and suffragette Hannah Mitchell, the Chartist Rising of 1848, the Bread Riot of 1863, the Anti-Irish Riot of 1868 and the formation of the Co-operative movement. £6/£5

Friday 31 May 10.45am Dr Marx and Mr Engels

Meeting point: front entrance, Oxford Road station

The wrings of Kark Marx and Frederick Engels on philosophy, history and politics had a major influence on C19th and C20th thought. Engels lived in Manchester for 20 years, whilst his friend Marx was a regular visitor to the city. This walk will visit sites associated with both men, including Little Ireland, the Owenite Hall of Science, the Royal Exchange and Chethams Library. We will also discover the truth about Engels’ secret life! £6/5.
Advance booking recommended : redflagwalks@gmail.com.

The walks will be led by Michael Herbert who has been researching, writing and speaking about Manchester’s radical history for many years. His published work includes Never Counted Out!, a biography of Len Johnson, the Manchester boxer and Communist. His latest book “Up Then Brave Women; Manchester’s Radical Women 1819-1918 was published in October 2012.

25th April 2013 Natalie of Victoria Baths Fanzine Fair by Under The Pavement on Mixcloud

Red Flag history walk exploring Salford’s rich radical history beginning at 10.45am from the Black lion public house, Chapel Street

This walk will include the famous Flat Iron Market, the General Strike of 1842, vegetarian Christians, Salford’s first birth control clinic, Salford’s Socialists, Votes for Women and the disturbances in Bexley Square in 1931.

“Salford is often overshadowed by Manchester yet it has a rich and diverse radical history of its own, which includes Chartism, trade unionism, Socialism, the suffrage movement and much else.”

In 1906 the painter Jack B Yeats brother of the poet W B Yeats described the Flat Iron Market in an article for the Manchester Guardian. “I think I should like to do all my marketing in the Flat Iron, for it is a real market, a place where you can swagger aloof if it suits your mind, or you can rub shoulders with the best of company, stopping occasionally to pass old-fashioned chaff”.

The walk will last 90 minutes. Advance booking is strongly recommended as here are a limited number of places available. To book in advance, please email: redflagwalks@gmail.com
