Manchester and Salford boast an extraordinary historical legacy. In
particular, nowhere has a better claim to be regarded as the
birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. The area played a
pioneering role in transport history, with the Bridgewater Canal
and one terminus of the world's first fully fledged passenger
railway. It saw the collaboration of Marx and Engels, the birth of
what became the Suffragette movement and the groundwork for the
computer revolution. More recently Manchester saw the discovery of
graphene - a form of carbon. All this and much more is reflected in
the two cities' rich heritage of great architecture and urban
landscapes. Much of this heritage and many of the important
buildings are from the nineteenth century onwards, but there are
remains dating back to Roman times. This book of exceptional
photographs reflects the area through the lens of award-winning
photographer Jon Sparks. Here are the contrasting scenes and
buildings, old and new, that define the essence, identity and
vibrant spirit of Manchester and Salford. From industry to sport,
leisure to worship, culture to transport and listed buildings to
modern skyscrapers, this is a stunning portrait of two eternally
fascinating cities.
