Manchester Something Rich and Strange explores the lesser-known aspects of Greater Manchester, revealing a host of idiosyncrasies, hidden spaces, and stories that have been neglected. By examining themes such as 'material', 'atmosphere', 'waste', 'movement' and 'underworld', this book challenges our understanding of the post-industrial metropolis. Through contributions from twenty-five poets, academics, writers, novelists, historians, architects and artists, Manchester Something Rich and Strange delves into the history of the city, uncovering its unique character through captivating photographs. This wide-ranging approach sheds new light on the region's hidden stories and overlooked spaces.
