Where does its name come from? What activities was it the centre of? What were the challenges of bringing a city within the city back to life? And what was at stake?<br><br>That is what this hour-and-a-half themed tour invites you to discover; an opportunity to evoke the not-so-distant past of a district which, almost as much as its
