Description
Manchester's Ancoats in 1885 was a world of energy and violence, as workers flocked to power the Industrial Revolution. Overcrowded into one square mile, the mills thundered day and night, casting a thick haze over the streets.
The lives of the young mill workers who formed urban gangs were marked by fierce rivalries, fought out with belts, fists, and knives. Their stories, though invisible in history, would go on to repeat themselves over the decades that followed.
