Publisher's Synopsis
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. Well-known researcher Hayley Flynn uncovers this city’s story, telling the tales of its magnificent journey from past to present through a wonderful collection of old and new photographs.
