The starting point of this very special cross-cultural journey will be a blue shirt... In the 1870s, Ann Donnell (born in Ireland in 1855) established a Working Men's Club in the parish hall of St Mark's church, as well as a Church football team named St Mark's West Gorton F.C. Her father, Reverend Arthur Donnell became the first president of the football club today known as Manchester City.

To find out more, click on the following link http://www.colorantshistory.org/ClaytonAniline.html Using the colour blue as a common denominator, MANCHESTER BLUES will also look at new ways to introduce new audiences to art history, literature + science through engaging narratives linking every day objects to museum collections. <[log in to unmask]>Looking forward to hearing from you, *All the best: Dominique Dominique Tessier Local Historian + Museum Consultant* -- **Manchester's Cafe Historique meets Wednesdays, 5.30pm - 6.30pm, Cafe Couture @ The Manchester Museum.
