From Romans to Ravers - The History of The Hacienda & Surrounding Area! #hacienda #manchester

HISTORY OF MANCHESTER’S ICONIC HAÇIENDA! 🧙‍♂️🎶 Join The Wizard of Tod as he heads into Manchester with historian Nick to explore the incredible history, music and stories hidden within this legendary part of the city. We take a look at the site of the iconic Haçienda nightclub — the Factory Records venue that became synonymous with Manchester’s music and club culture — and discover what was here before the famous dancefloor took over. But the history doesn’t stop there… We wander through the surrounding streets, taking in the magnificent Ritz, the historic Britons Protection, Deansgate Locks, Castlefield and the remains of Roman Manchester — peeling back the layers of a city that has constantly reinvented itself. From Romans and old Manchester pubs to industrial buildings, live music, Factory Records and the explosion of rave culture… there’s a hell of a lot of history packed into these few streets. 🎶 Music 🏭 Industrial Manchester 🐝 Local history 🕺 The Haçienda 🍺 Historic pubs 🏛️ Roman ruins 🧙‍♂️ And a Wizard wandering around trying to make sense of it all!
