  • From Coal Mining to Gold Medals
    From coal mining to gold medals The area around Philips Park has a rich industrial heritage. Former industries include coal mining, cotton mills, engineering works, coking works, power production and chemicals. Famous local industries include Bradford Colliery: coal had been mined in the area since Tudor times, and Bradford coal was used to power the very first cotton mills in Manchester. Deep mine shafts were sunk in the nineteenth century, and in the early twentieth century there was a conveyor belt that took coal to the nearby power station. Bradford Colliery finally closed in 1968. Johnson and Nephew's wire works was similarly famous, supplying wire for the first transatlantic cables and many other products exported all over the world. By the 1980s, most of these traditional industries had closed and the surrounding area was largely derelict with many social problems. East Manchester has been massively transformed and work is continuing by the work of New East Manchester and the development of SportCity. In 2002, East Manchester was the focus of the XVII Commonwealth Games, which brought a wealth of new development to the area, including: • The City of Manchester Stadium • The National Cycling Centre (Manchester Velodrome) • The English Institute of Sport • National Squash Centre • Regional Athletics Arena • Indoor Tennis Centre • For information about SportCity, please visit the SportCity Visitor Centre or check out the website at www.sportcity-manchester.com Medlock Valley Information - Industry Page 1 of 1 .

  • And the Winner Is….Manchester Bob Rutt, Programme Manager, Manchester 2002 Ltd, on Assignment from Manchester City Council
    the agi conference at GIS 2002 Plenary: Finding your way in the GI network And the Winner is….Manchester P01.2 Bob Rutt, Programme Manager, Manchester 2002 Ltd, on assignment from Manchester City Council How Spatial Information was used to deliver the 17th Commonwealth Games Introduction For some, it began in November 1995 when Manchester was awarded the Games (even earlier for the Bid Committee and Support Team). For others (me included), it started rather later, around the millennium, when the operating company charged with delivering the Games (Manchester 2002 Limited) expanded rapidly as staff were recruited to develop more detailed plans and budgets. More recently around 25,000 technical officials, contractors and volunteers were added to the workforce to prepare, manage and deliver the event itself. For most, their experience of the Games was as a spectator during the 10 days of competition. But the story does not end there – legacy initiatives involving a variety of organisations and government agencies will continue to the end of this decade and beyond. This paper attempts to convey the scope and scale of activities associated with the delivery and legacies of the 17th Commonwealth Games that took place in Manchester from 25 July – 04 August, 2002. In particular, it highlights just a few of the many productive partnerships essential in the planning and delivery of the largest multi-sport event ever staged in the United Kingdom. In line with the theme of this year’s Conference I have focused on the scope of these partnerships, the obstacles and risks that had to be overcome, and the sharing of spatial information.
