Finding Mr Engels: Part 4

The final part of my series on Friedrich Engels in Manchester and how I think we should really tell the city's story

It’s a Saturday morning in July 2024 and I’m leading a group of Angel Meadow descendants on a tour of the district.

These are the same streets that Friedrich Engels walked 180 years ago. The same streets where my Irish ancestors lived.

With its residential towers of steel and glass, modern day Angel Meadow is a different place to the one visited by Engels.
