INTRODUCTION
Manchester (city, England), city and metropolitan district, north-western England. It was once a port, connected by the Manchester Ship Canal (completed 1894) to Eastham on the River Mersey and formerly accessible to ocean-going vessels. It is a major industrial, cultural, and educational centre. Population 392,900 (2001 estimate).
ECONOMY
Manchester is an important commercial centre, with banking, insurance, and the leisure industry playing a significant role. The city is also a major retailing centre, and the Arndale Centre, which opened in 1979, was one of the first purpose-built shopping complexes in Britain. The city was long known as the leading cotton textile manufacturing city in Great Britain. This was largely due to its site at the confluence of the rivers Irk, Medlock, and Irwell. They provided abundant water power in the early days of manufacturing. Nowadays, there is greater industrial diversification, with engineering, chemicals, clothing, food processing, and textiles contributing to the economy. Each year, more than 18 million travellers use Manchester International Airport, situated 16 km (10 mi) south of the city (it is Britain’s third busiest airport after Heathrow and Gatwick); the Metrolink Light Rail System was opened in 1992.
PLACES OF INTEREST
Educational institutions in the city include the large Victoria University of Manchester (1903), the Royal Northern College of Music (1923), University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST; 1824), and Manchester Metropolitan University (1992). A noted cultural centre, Manchester is the home of the extensive John Rylands Library collection; the renowned Hallé Orchestra (1858); the Royal Exchange Theatre; the Whitworth Art Gallery; and the Manchester City Art Galleries (known for its Pre-Raphaelites collection and designed by Sir Charles Barry in the 1820s), which incorporate museums of archaeology and natural history, as well as of science and technology. It is also home to a flourishing musical culture that since the end of the 1970s has included New Order, Take That, Oasis, The Smiths, and The Stone Roses. Manchester was the site for the 17th Commonwealth Games in 2002. Manchester United, who play at Old Trafford, are England’s most successful football club in recent years; Manchester City, who play at the City of Manchester Stadium, are also one of the most enthusiastically supported football clubs. The city is also the site of the Manchester Velodrome, the home of the National Cycling Centre. Manchester is also the seat of a bishopric of the Anglican Church, and its cathedral dates from the 15th century. The essayist Thomas De Quincey was born in Manchester, as was the painter L. S. Lowry, the architect Norman Foster, the director Nicholas Hytner, and the novelist Jeanette Winterson.
HISTORY
The Roman outpost of Mancunium was established here in the 1st century. The medieval town was probably founded in the 10th century. Manchester was chartered in 1301, at which time it was developing a wool industry. It was a thriving commercial town by the 17th century, when the manufacture of cotton textiles was of growing importance. With the introduction of steam power in cotton milling in 1783, Manchester began a dramatic period of growth. It was connected by rail with the seaport of Liverpool in 1830.
Manchester was the scene of the Peterloo Massacre (August 1819), when 11 demonstrators, out of a crowd of 60,000 petitioning for repeal of the Corn Laws and for parliamentary reform, were killed in St Peter’s Field by a cavalry charge on the orders of the city authorities. Throughout the 19th century, the citizens of Manchester were notably active in the liberal-reform movement in politics and in the development of facilities for public education. The city also became a publishing centre; the liberal daily newspaper, The Guardian, was founded there in 1821 as the Manchester Guardian.
Declining textile production since the mid-19th century has been partially offset by the introduction of new industries, of which tourism plays a significant part. The city suffered damage from German bombing during World War II and later underwent extensive urban rebuilding. On June 15, 1996, the city was the scene of a huge Irish Republican Army bomb that devastated much of the central shopping area. The city centre was redeveloped in the years that followed—Manchester’s Millennium Quarter includes Exchange Square, opened in 1999 to commemorate the explosion and its effects; a new City Park; the Cathedral Visitors’ Centre; and Urbis, a state-of-the-art exhibition centre, completed in 2002. Other notable recent additions to the city are the Lowry—the National Landmark Millennium Projects for the Arts—that opened in 2000, and the Imperial War Museum North, designed by Daniel Libeskind, which opened in July 2002. In September 2003 work began on one of the final phases of the city centre redevelopment—a £150 million project to rebuild and refurbish the Arndale Centre, scheduled for completion in 2006.
