2,000 Years of Manchester
Author: Kathryn Coase
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1526715112
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 444
Book Description
An enlightening and entertaining portrait of the English city’s history, legends, and lore, including photos and quotations: “Excellent.” —NB Magazine This is not a chronological history of Manchester filled with names and dates and figures. Rather, it is an eclectic mix of fact, fiction, legend, and myth that presents the history of Manchester from its beginnings as a Roman settlement, then as an insignificant market town, to its place as a city at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and beyond—capturing not only the often tragic lives, times, struggles, and beliefs of the city’s ever-expanding population, but also its resilience and humor. Including photographs, illustrations, poems and quotes, the book ranges from the funny, including the stories of “Spanking Roger” and the “Manchester Mummy” to the tragic stories of “Cholera” and “Mary Bradley”, together with the bizarre “Pig Tales” and the criminal “Scuttlers” and “Purrers.” For anyone interested in urban, social, or English history, this is a well-researched, well-written, and, most importantly, entertaining and informative read.

The Irish in Manchester c.1750–1921
Author: Mervyn Busteed
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1784996378
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
This book examines the development of the Irish community in Manchester, one of the most dynamic cities of nineteenth-century Britain. Based on research into a wide variety of local sources, it examines the process by which the Irish came to be blamed for all the ills of the Industrial Revolution and the ways in which they attempted to cope with a sometimes actively hostile environment. It discusses the nature and degree of residential segregation in one notable Irish district and the role of the Catholic Church as a source of spiritual comfort and the base for a dense network of mutual aid and social and cultural organisations. It also examines how the Irish community allied itself with local campaign groups and political parties and organised celebrations and processions that simultaneously expressed its evolving sense of Irishness but fitted in with local traditions and customs.
