Accommodation and travel ideas in Manchester
Whilst there was a Roman fort where Manchester now stands, a town was not built until the 13th century and it was only in the Industrial Revolution of 18th & 19th centuries that it exploded from a medieval town. It had a piece of early development from cotton to rifles and the much of the architecture associated with each remains to this day and was the subject matter of artists such as Lowry. The new Manchester wheel in the Millennium quarter offers the chance to see the city from an elevated height.
