What to expect
St Ann's Church is the starting point
You stand before the grand Manchester Central Library. Dr. Alistair Croft, Finch's family physician, was seen here, poring over medical texts. Was he seeking a cure, or perhaps, a poison?
You reach The Portico Library, a place where Finch often sought solace. Could his estranged sister, Mrs. Vance, have met him here, perhaps to discuss their inheritance dispute?
The John Rylands Library
You arrive at the John Rylands Library, a gothic masterpiece. Dr. Croft, a scholar of ancient texts, was known to frequent its hallowed halls. Did he seek knowledge, or perhaps, a hidden truth about Finch's demise within these silent stacks?
You arrive at Piccadilly Gardens, once a bustling transport hub. Was this where Alistair Finch met his fate, or merely a place for clandestine meetings related to his mill's finances?
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
