Myself and unit X friend, Rachel, decided to sign ourselves up on an adventure safari tour of the Northern Quarter. We thought it'd be a great experience to go and see the main sites around Manchester's past thriving textiles industry, and become familiar with the wholesalers around the city. It was a great experience, and it seemed that every corner held some sort of interesting historical facts and artist flares . I was so excited to see the old textile themed street signs, and the old weavers' houses.
As well as this, in Piccadilly Gardens we stumbled across a grand statue of Queen Victoria - placed there in honour of her time as heir to the throne . It's interesting to see that we've picked a unit x project that has some sort of connection to our home city . I am going to start researching into this topic to see what interesting facts I can find.
