This richly illustrated history explores every aspect of life in
Manchester. Manchester is noted for the 'Industrial Revolution' -
its factories, working-class people and urban development all based
around its production of cotton textiles. But this is not the
complete story. Manchester has always been a more vibrant place
which dates back to Roman times. This book traces the development
of this important city and its people from the earliest times to
the present, where each period in its progress links to the next.
The history of Manchester is very much based around its people, who
were often pioneers, whether this be the first railway line, the
first public library, fighting for greater political rights, or key
wealth creators for the nation. As we advance through the
twenty-first century, Manchester's role in the United Kingdom
remains undiminished as it becomes ever more cosmopolitan and a
northern powerhouse of economic, social and political progress.
