Description
Lost Manchester is a fascinating exploration of the city's transformation over the years. From its heyday as a powerhouse of the Industrial Revolution to its decline and subsequent regeneration, the book sheds light on the many well-known buildings that are no longer part of the city's landscape. The story of Manchester's transformation is one of dramatic change, marked by the death of the textile industry and the decline of its role as a major inland port. However, by the end of the twentieth century, a massive programme of inner-city regeneration had seen the city successfully transform itself into a thriving post-industrial centre of arts, culture and commerce. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in Manchester's history and architecture, and will appeal to both locals and visitors alike.
