We're excited to share our next community commission - Longford: A Manchester Love Story by Juliette Tomlinson
Local author, Juliette Tomlinson, wrote the wonderful novel 'Longford', a story about Manchester and the life and times of John & Enriqueta Rylands. Join her this Saturday in a book talk to learn more behind the story, discuss the novel's local history and share your own special memories of Longford Hall.
