The first Whit walk was held in Manchester in 1801 and its origins lay in the Sunday Schools movement. At that time the Manchester horse races - rowdy affairs accompanied by much drinking and betting - were held on Kersal Moor during Whit week. The Sunday Schools Movement tried to keep children away from the races by occupying them with more wholesome activities such as parades and picnics. - Nick Ritchie
