Description
Forgotten waterways, vanished film sets, uncanny histories and the secrets buried beneath our streets.
Lost Levenshulme returns with a new collection of strange, surprising and overlooked stories from our neighbourhood.
Levenshulme is a district in South Manchester known for its diverse community, its rich local lore and a history that often turns out to be far stranger than it first appears. This second issue digs even deeper into the hidden side of the area, featuring:
-
the ancient waterways that still run beneath our roads
-
the filming locations of a long-forgotten Manchester noir
-
the story – and sounds – of Levenshulme’s mysterious Secret Lake
-
a tale of superstition and grief set in the wild edges of Nutsford Vale
-
the local figures who helped shape the nation – and then slipped quietly from its history
Created by local volunteers and produced by Levenshulme Old Library, a community arts charity based in the neighbourhood’s former library building, Lost Levenshulme blends local history with imagination to reveal the uncanny side of everyday life.
Issue Two costs £5.00 – if you live locally, we can deliver directly in Levenshulme to save you postage – just drop us a message.
