Description:A rich and vivid history of Britain's second city through the people who made it‘What Manchester thinks today, England thinks tomorrow.’Long before Manchester gave the world titans of industry, comedy, music and sport, it was the cosmopolitan Roman fort of Mamucium.

The Peterloo Massacre is immortalised in British folklore and the city was a centre for pioneering movements such as Chartism.

Lowry, Jeanette Winterson, Joy Division and Oasis. Mention United or City almost anywhere and you’ll find fans, and opinions.Until now, this magnificent city did not have its definitive history.
