Manchester's Hidden Georgian Village | Fairfield Moravian Settlement

Join John from Manchester Taxi Tours and his friend Tony from Salford Media as they discover one of Manchester's most remarkable hidden historic places – the Fairfield Moravian Settlement. Tucked away in East Manchester, just a short journey from the city centre, Fairfield feels like stepping back in time. The Moravian community established its settlement here in the 18th century, and many of its beautiful Georgian buildings survive today. Walking around the peaceful streets, it's easy to imagine how this self-contained community would once have lived, worked, worshipped and learned together. John and Tony explore the historic houses, church and burial ground while discussing just how surprising it is that somewhere so special remains relatively unknown – even to people who have lived around Manchester for decades. Fairfield's remarkably preserved historic appearance has also made it a popular filming location, with productions including Peaky Blinders using the area to recreate scenes from another era. As Tony discovers on his return visit, take away the modern cars and parts of Fairfield look as though they've barely changed in more than 200 years. It's another perfect example of why there's so much more to Manchester than the famous city-centre attractions. Some of the region's most fascinating places are hiding almost in plain sight. 🚖 Manchester Taxi Tours offers private guided tours exploring over 2,000 years of Manchester and Greater Manchester's incredible history – from Roman settlements and Georgian streets to the Industrial Revolution, football, music, architecture and hidden gems like Fairfield. 🌐 Book your Manchester Taxi Tour: https://manchestertaxitours.co.uk 👍 Like, subscribe and share for more fascinating places and stories from across Manchester. #FairfieldMoravianSettlement #HiddenManchester #Manchester #MoravianSettlement #ManchesterHistory #GeorgianArchitecture #PeakyBlinders #EastManchester #ManchesterTaxiTours #VisitManchester
