stone tour
how does urban stone make you feel? what does urban stone mean? where can urban stone take us? find the answer to all these existential questions and more on a tour of stone in the city of Manchester.
Manchester is full of different types of stone, all doing different things and with different results. Come on this tour to have a think about how all this stone has shaped the city of Manchester. There'll be fossils, erosion, fancy stone for fancy buildings, deep time, and a chat about where stone even comes from in the first place.
We'll gaze at granite, Portland Stone, red sandstone and more. I'll even throw in some concrete for controversy.
