Manchester Guide
Manchester is defined by its history as the world's first industrial city, evolving from a Roman fort into a hub of textile manufacturing that drove the Industrial Revolution. Its industrial past is preserved in sites like the Science and Industry Museum, housed in the former Liverpool Road railway station, and the repurposed Victorian warehouses of Ancoats.
The city’s culture blends this heritage with a fiercely independent, creative spirit, giving rise to iconic music movements like "Madchester" with bands such as The Smiths and Oasis, as well as being a powerhouse for two world-class football teams, Manchester United and Manchester City.
The Manchester lifestyle is characterized by this energy and resilience, balancing a bustling, diverse urban centre—home to a thriving nightlife and vibrant arts scene—with a famously down-to-earth and welcoming community, epitomized by the city's worker bee symbol.
The thing about Manchester is… it all comes from here
