History Of Manchester
The recorded history of Manchester began with the civilian settlement associated with
the Roman fort of Mamucium or Mancunium, which was established in about AD 79 on a
sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. It was historically a
part of Lancashire, although areas of Cheshire south of the River Mersey were
incorporated in the 20th century.[9] Throughout the Middle Ages Manchester remained
a manorial township but began to expand "at an astonishing rate" around the turn of the
19th century. Manchester's unplanned urbanisation was brought on by a boom in textile
manufacture during the Industrial Revolution,[10] and resulted in it becoming the world's first
industrialised city.[11]
Perfoming Arts
Manchester has a thriving theatre, opera and dance scene, and is home to a number of
large performance venues, including the Manchester Opera House, which feature large-
scale touring shows and West End productions; the Palace Theatre; and the Royal
Exchange Theatre in Manchester's former cotton exchange, the largest theatre in the
round space in the UK. Manchester's history is concerned with textile manufacture during
the Industrial Revolution. The great majority of cotton spinning took place in the towns of
south Lancashire and north Cheshire, and Manchester was for a time the most productive
centre of cotton processing,[28] and later the world's largest marketplace for cotton
goods.[20][29] Manchester was dubbed "Cottonopolis" and "Warehouse City" during
the Victorian era.[28] In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the term "manchester" is
still used for household linen: sheets, pillow cases, towels, etc.[30] The industrial revolution
brought about huge change in Manchester and was key to the increase in Manchester's
population
