Book Description
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.

Book Description
Manchester is one the world's most iconic cities. Not only was it the first industrial city, it can claim to be the first post-industrial city. This book uses historic maps and unpublished and original plans to chart the dramatic growth and transformation of Manchester as it grew rich on its cotton trade from the late 18th century, experienced periods of boom and bust through the Victorian period, and began its post-industrial transformation in the 20th century. The Peterloo Massacre, the Bridgewater Canal, the railway revolution, Trafford Park industrial estate, the Ship Canal, Belle Vue theme park, Wythenshawe garden city, the 1996 IRA bomb, Coronation Street, iconic football stadiums, and MediaCity are just some of the events and places that have put Manchester on the world's perceptual map and are explored through a wealth of published and unpublished maps and plans in this sumptuously illustrated cartographic history.

Book Description
Alan Turing is a patron saint of Manchester, remembered as the Mancunian who won the war, invented the computer, and was all but put to death for being gay. Each myth is related to a historical story. This is not a book about the first of those stories, of Turing at Bletchley Park. But it is about the second two, which each unfolded here in Manchester, of Turing's involvement in the world's first computer and of his refusal to be cowed about his sexuality. Manchester can be proud of Turing, but can we be proud of the city he encountered?

Book Description
A historian's personal journey into the complex questions of immigration, home and nation From Ireland to London in the 1950s, Derry in the Troubles to contemporary, de-industrialised Manchester, Joyce finds the ties of place, family and the past are difficult to break. Why do certain places continue to haunt us? What does it mean to be British after the suffering of Empire and of war? How do we make our home in a hypermobile world without remembering our pasts? Patrick Joyce's parents moved from Ireland in the 1930s and made their home in west London. But they never really left the homeland. And so as he grew up among the streets of Paddington and Notting Hill and when he visited his family in Ireland he felt a tension between the notions of home, nation and belonging. Going to My Father's House charts the historian's attempt to make sense of these ties and to see how they manifest in a globalised world. He explores the places - the house, the street, the walls and the graves - that formed his own identity. He ask what place the ideas of history, heritage and nostalgia have in creating a sense of our selves. He concludes with a plea for a history that holds the past to account but also allows for dynamic, inclusive change.
