Exploring Manchester, UK

from Eye on Travel with Peter Greenberg · host CBS News

This week's Eye on Travel Podcast with Peter Greenberg - from Manchester in the United Kingdom. A lot of people visit London and bypass Manchester, and they are missing out on a city with not just robust British history but also world history. Peter sits down with Esme Ward -  Director of Manchester Museum at The University of Manchester - to chat about  their special collections and the stories that are still being told and waiting to be told. Then, speaking of great stories, Julianne Simpson -  Librarian at Chetham’s Library - stops by to talk about their 140,000 books dating back to 1422. Finally, we have all heard of the iconic London cabbie, but Manchester’s John Consterdine may have them beat.
