  • From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: the Emergence of a 'New Manchester' in the Nineteen Sixties
    Introductory essay, Making Post-war Manchester: Visions of an Unmade City, May 2016 From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: The Emergence of a ‘New Manchester’ in the Nineteen Sixties Martin Dodge, Department of Geography, University of Manchester Richard Brook, Manchester School of Architecture ‘Manchester is primarily an industrial city; it relies for its prosperity - more perhaps than any other town in the country - on full employment in local industries manufacturing for national and international markets.’ (Rowland Nicholas, 1945, City of Manchester Plan, p.97) ‘Between 1966 and 1972, one in three manual jobs in manufacturing were lost and one quarter of all factories and workshops closed. … Losses in manufacturing employment, however, were accompanied (although not replaced in the same numbers) by a growth in service occupations.’ (Alan Kidd, 2006, Manchester: A History, p.192) Economic Decline, Social Change, Demographic Shifts During the post-war decades Manchester went through the socially painful process of economic restructuring, switching from a labour market based primarily on manufacturing and engineering to one in which services sector employment dominated. While parts of Manchester’s economy were thriving from the late 1950s, having recovered from the deep austerity period after the War, with shipping trade into the docks at Salford buoyant and Trafford Park still a hive of activity, the ineluctable contraction of the cotton industry was a serious threat to the Manchester and regional textile economy. Despite efforts to stem the tide, the textile mills in 1 Manchester and especially in the surrounding satellite towns were closing with knock on effects on associated warehousing and distribution functions.

  • Cottonopolis
    1 Greater Manchester U3A Network Toolbox 2 Introduction This pack had its origin in the U3A’s greater focus on research by member U3As as a learning activity, as well as a joint project between the GMU3A network and Manchester University ‘Cottonopolis’ was chosen as a uniting theme for this initiative as it summarises the huge impact that the sudden industrial growth of Manchester had on all aspects of society. What you will find in this resource pack is a set of notes organised by theme under the over-arching topic of 'Cottonopolis'. They are intended to help participating U3As of the Greater Manchester U3A Network assess what they might be able to contribute, either as individuals or as groups within their respective U3As, to co-ordinated research as a learning activity which may eventually benefit from a negotiated partnership with the University of Manchester. The themes and associated notes provided here are intended to be suggestive rather than prescriptive. They should be seen as starting points for the dissemination of ideas or as catalysts for further investigation. Hopefully they will allow interested third-agers to claim a stake in an exciting project which seeks to take advantage of our unique geographical location in the world's first industrial city. The notes in this pack do not yet address all aspects of the topic outlined in the diagram of 'the Cottonopolis Effect' on page 4. Please feel free to compile equivalent notes for any topic which still needs developing within your own fields of interest. Tony Pearson, October

  • Riverside, You Get the Best of Both Worlds
    Home Find your sanctuary in the heart of the city The property Businesses thrive in the hustle and bustle of prime city locations, but the people within them often need peace and quiet in order to function at their very best. At Riverside, you get the best of both worlds. Situated just a few minutes walk away from the main thoroughfare of Deansgate in Manchester, this unique complex of five office buildings offers all the amenities and vibrancy of a prime city centre site, but with unusual additional benefits. Its riverside position and private inner courtyard provide an oasis of tranquillity where extensive planting, timber decking and water features combine to create an ideal place to relax. The complex was previously owned by the Manchester Evening News, and the names of the buildings reflect that unique heritage, with four of them named after historic print typefaces; Aldine, Baskerville, Cloister and Delphian. The entrance reception to Riverside on New Bailey Street Riverside has been comprehensively refurbished with over £5m invested in improving the buildings both inside and out. The redevelopment has included two brand new, statement reception entrances and a completely re-landscaped inner courtyard, exclusively for the use of Riverside customers. Internally, the works have included a full upgrade of the office floor plates, creating impressive office accommodation offering tailored, open-plan suites delivered to a ‘new build’ standard. And all this without the new-build price tag. Outside the complex, Bruntwood has worked hand in hand with the local authorities to make significant improvements to the buildings’ surroundings. As part of the Irwell River Park scheme, a new landscaped walkway now connects New Bailey Street and Riverside with Trinity Bridge and the Lowry Hotel, creating a new riverside route for pedestrians and cyclists.

  • A History of Feeding Manchester
    A History of Feeding Manchester. A chronological history of how Manchester has been fed through the ages. Introduction Manchester – the cradle of industrialization and the modern city. It was a revolution built on social and technological advances brought about by the end of feudalism which set us on a path, divorced from the ‘primitive’ countryside and disconnected from the natural world, to an urban civility. The comforts we enjoy today are built on the enterprise and exploitation of the agricultural revolution, colonialism, international trade and slavery, and ultimately the industrial revolution with the resulting urbanization of our country. Few could predict that in just seventy years Britain would go from a kingdom of ‘peasants’ and cottage industries to an economy where the majority lived in town and cities, dependant on the new merchant and bureaucratic classes for our employment, housing, cloths and food. By looking at how a changing Manchester was fed we can see our changing relationship with the countryside. How the urban has come to dominate the rural to make the most of market opportunities. Resulting in a detachment from and disregard for the pastoral, and a reverence for the metropolis. A History of Feeding Manchester by The Kindling Trust. www.kindling.org.uk Pre-1771 The journey begins in the late eighteenth century, the border of Lancashire and Cheshire. Farmsteads, hamlets and towns whose names allude to a lost countryside. Places like Blackley, meaning "a dark wood or clearing", Reddish derived from "reed or reedy ditch", Rusholme and Moss Side indicating marshland; Newton Heath and Barlow Moor revealing great heaths of old.

  • Manchester Is a Large City in the North West of England, Often Known As the UK’S Second City Behind London
    Manchester….. the place to be! Manchester is a large city in the North West of England, often known as the UK’s second city behind London. The city has fantastic transport connections, allowing you to get to London by train in under two hours. As well as brilliant bus, train and tram connections, Manchester also has a large international airport – so handy for travelling during half-term breaks. With over 200 schools in Manchester alone (There are 10 other boroughs, all easily accessible from Manchester) this really is a great location to be a teacher. GSL Education have partnerships with schools and academies across the Greater Manchester region, making this a great base to work from. With a population of over 2.5 million, Manchester boasts a rich industrial heritage; It was the first industrialised city in the world! Also, the founder and leader of the British Suffragette movement, securing the right for women to vote was born and raised in Moss Side….. and the first computer in the world, The Manchester Baby, was made here! Sport and Leisure Manchester also has a very famous sporting history. Along with the National Football Museum, it is home to both Manchester United and Manchester City premier league football clubs. Manchester is also extremely proud to be the home of the Team GB Cycling squad with the World Championships being recently held at the velodrome based in Sports City. If Rugby is more your thing, the AJ Bell stadium is home to both Sale Sharks and Salford Reds, with Wigan Warriors just a short train journey away.
