Central Manchester Through Time Book

With a proud history of industry and creativity, Manchester is one of the world's greatest cities. In 2015 it was designated 'The Northern Powerhouse' but, of course, being the home of the Industrial Revolution, it always was. Manchester gave the world technological innovation as well as manufacturing strength. By the second half of the nineteenth century Manchester was home to more than 100 mills and well over 1,000 warehouses. It was in Manchester that Whitworth devised a standard for screw threads in 1841. Here John Dalton developed modern atomic theory, Rutherford split the atom and Alan Turing and colleagues developed the world's first computer. The Victorian men of Manchester would be surprised to see the vast modern buildings that now sit side by side with the old. Here we tell Manchester's story from Roman Britain through to the twenty-first century. This paperback book has 96 pages and measures: 23.4 x 16.4 x 0.8cmRead More

    Central Manchester, best described as the central district of both Manchester and Greater Manchester, is an area full to the brim with culture, history and energy. Close to the River Irwell, Manchester is as welcoming an area as it is attractive. Extensively redeveloped since the Manchester Blitz in the 1940s, the city centre remains as the commercial and cultural hub of Manchester, and is home to some of the largest buildings and attractions, not only in the county but the wider regions of the United Kingdom also. With much to do and see in Central Manchester, the area has been split into many subdivisions, including the Northern Quarter, the Millennium Quarter, Spinningfields, Castlefield, Piccadilly and Chinatown, each of which have their own personal traits that contribute to the huge popularity surrounding Manchester. With fantastic transport links, the city is well-connected with the neighbouring areas and wider locations across the country, ensuring that visitors can return and return again to be a part of the city's enthusiasm.
