Welcome to the page of the Ardwick Heritage Audio Trail

Welcome to the Ardwick Heritage Audio Trail. You can play these segments in order, or they also appear on the interactive map and the individual information pages.

The audio trail project was commissioned by the South Manchester Regeneration Team. Arts organisation Kinokophone worked with a group of 16-19 year olds from Connexions in Longsight to develop their key and media skills including team work,  recording and editing.

Local residents, representatives from a number of the cultural venues and heritage walk leader Kate Dibble were interviewed by the group. The edited material from these sessions forms the content of the podcasts available on this site.

The Audio Trail:

You can play the trail on the site, or download the tracks to take with you on a portable device such as an Ipod or phone that plays MP3 files. (Hint: for best results if you wish to download the files, right click on the download button and select the “Save Target As…” or “Save Link As…” option.)
