About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

"And now win the peace" was the popular slogan after WW2 ended in Europe on the 8th of May 1945.
Ed Glinert, one of the country's leading political historians and Manchester's most prolific tour guide, leads this walk through the city centre locations crucial to the never-ending story; from the Gandhi statue to those of Cobden, Lincoln, Bright, the Quakers and finishes examining the never-ending nuclear "peace" question.
