Manchester: The Hidden History

In the first book to deal with the history of Manchester from its Roman foundations to the era of the Industrial revolution, Dr Michael Nevell uses the results of nearly ten years of archaeological excavation to illuminate the fascinating changes that this great city has gone through over the last millennium. Including never before published photographs and plans, and dealing with archaeology both below ground and still standing buildings, particular attention is paid to the eighteenth and nineteenth century industrial growth which brought profound changes to the city and its surrounding environment, and made Manchester Britain’s first industrial city.
