*Special * Stories From The City - The Places

We Built This City: Greater Manchester

"Manchester had always been glinting on the horizon across the Lancashire plain"

On National Storytelling week, host Lisa Morton brings you some of the best stories about Manchester places, from the We Built This City archives.

You'll hear about iconic Manchester buildings, like Granada studios, Manchester's pubs, like the Dog and Partridge in Didsbury and about the redevelopment of the Northern Quarter.

Featuring contributions from Lemn Sissay, Chris Oglesby, Eamonn O'Neal, Sharon Latham, Siobhan Johnston, Liam Manton, Tom Bloxham and Vikas Shah.

Your host, Lisa Morton, started PR company Roland Dransfield in 1996, one month after the fateful IRA bomb that tore apart the city centre. From that point, the business, and its team members, have been involved in helping to support the creation of Modern Manchester – across regeneration, business, charity, leisure and hospitality, sport and culture.

To celebrate the 25 years that Roland Dransfield has spent creating these bonds, Lisa is gathering together some of her Greater Mancunian ‘family’ and will be exploring how they have created their own purposeful relationships with the best place in the world.
