Manchester’s prosperity really began in the 18th century with the making of textiles and the advent of the Industrial Revolution, although it was during the reign of Edward III in the 14th century that Flemish weavers came to Manchester and set in motion the important textile trade.  It was turned into a port with the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in the late 19th century.  This eased trade to and from the city. As well as the Manchester Ship Canal Manchester had another important means of transport in the 1800s.  The Manchester to Liverpool railway was the first line in the world to be a commercial success.  It was George Stephenson, who designed the famous ‘Rocket’ who built it. Some of the centre of Manchester was destroyed in the second world war bombing raids, but much of the Victorian city does remain.  There are even a few traces of medieval Manchester.  The cathedral building dates from the 1400s but was added too several centuries later.  It became a cathedral in the mid nineteenth century. The bloodiest part of Manchester’s history was in 1819 with the Peterloo massacre.  The residents had no representative in Parliament and poor working conditions, high unemployment and abject poverty led the locals to rebellion.  Up to fifty thousand people gathered in St Peter’s Field to ask for reform.  The demonstration was crushed by troops on horseback carrying sabres.  Apart from hundreds of injuries, eleven people died that day. Manchester is the home of the Hallé orchestra which was founded by Sir Charles Hallé in the mid 19th century and its home was the Free Trade Hall, which had originally been used by the Anti Corn Law League in the early 19th century until the Corn Laws were repealed.  This building in Peter Street was later used by the Athenaeum Society the first chairman of which was Charles Dickens. The Royal Exchange, now used as a theatre, has a floor area of around one acre and is surmounted by three glass domes on marble columns – a truly impressive sight. Manchester has a wealth of museums and galleries, exhibiting paintings, ceramics, costumes and items detailing the history of the textile industry. Manchester is famous world-wide, of course, for its football teams, so people from as far afield as Japan and China have heard of Manchester!  It is also the place for one of England’s popular universities which started life as Owens College in the early 19th century and became a university in 1903.  Manchester’s university library, which was opened in 1900, is the home to many ancient manuscripts: books printed by William Caxton as well as manuscripts dating back to 3000BC.  The city’s public library is one of the largest libraries in the country.
