  • 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.

  • Covid-19 Urgent Eye Service (CUES) Provided by Primary Care Optometrists
    Manchester Royal Eye Hospital Information for Patients Covid-19 Urgent Eye Service (CUES) Provided by primary care Optometrists Accidents and emergencies related to your eye may still happen at this time; patients can seek help in the community to avoid a visit to the hospital. A service has been set up so patients can access free urgent NHS care at an Optometry practice. There are a number of practices delivering this service, so you should not have to travel far. A network of Optometrists in Manchester and Trafford has been working with Manchester Royal Eye Hospital to create a service which allows Optometrists in the community to assess and treat patients. Some Optometrists have equipment to take scans of the eye and others have had additional training to allow them to prescribe eye medications. The service has been set up so optometrists can share information with the hospital to get an extra opinion when required. Sometimes patients may be sent onto the hospital if further care is needed. If you have an urgent eye problem, please look through the list of optometry practices at the end of this document, and contact a practice using the telephone numbers provided in the table. When you call, you will be asked a number of questions about your eye problem and your general wellbeing. This will help decide whether you need a face to face appointment or a telephone or video consultation. The optometry practice will follow social distancing guidelines and have Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to use. If you have coronavirus, have coronavirus symptoms, are self-isolating or being shielded – please do get in touch using the contact details below if you have an eye emergency – the practice will provide advice best suited to your individual situation.
