Download or read book Memorials of Manchester Streets Classic Reprint written by Richard Wright Procter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of Manchester Streets It has been observed by the favourite author of Our Village, that she valued much less any reputation she might gain as a writer of romance, than the credit to be derived from the less ambitious, but more useful, office of faithfully uniting and preserving those fragments of tradi tion, experience, and biography which give to history its living interest. To this article of Miss Mitford's literary creed the writer of Memorials of Manchester Streets is disposed to subscribe. The series of chapters here presented was commenced in the Manchester Guardian six years ago, and has been continued at convenient intervals to a recent date. In its collective form, the book has undergone careful revision, extension, and re-arrangement, in order that itmay be found reliable for reference and interesting to peruse. In furtherance of the same endeavour, numerous illustrations, original or rare, have been introduced. In these illustrations the writer feels a certain amount of confidence which the letterpress alone might fail to engender. Their interest will take a wider range. In addition to the connoisseurs who will prize them for their antiquity, and increase the number in compliment to the old town, many unlearned yet inquiring spirits will read the pictures with pleasure, though unable to peruse the author's portion of the volume. Even in this lettered age, not all are lettered; and with the untaught the eye must be purveyor-in-ordinary to the intellect. Hence the value of characteristic engravings, which, telling their own inter esting story, require no formal teacher.

Download or read book Historic Streets and Squares written by Melanie Backe-Hansen and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this picturesque exploration of Britain’s constructed landscape, an array of medieval lanes, Georgian crescents and Victorian squares make an appearance, together with the people – famous, infamous and unfamiliar – who designed, built and lived in them. From Bedford Square and Portobello Road in London, through to Grey Street in Newcastle and Charlotte Square in Edinburgh, Historic Streets and Squares takes you over the doorstep of some of the country’s most familiar addresses. Melanie Backe-Hansen takes us beyond the facades, delving into the evolution of ancient streets, the aspirations of builders and architects, and the extraordinary lives of past residents. She also reveals the fascinating stories of how some of our oldest and most valued crescents, lanes and avenues have survived into the twenty-first century, and the twists and turns of their journey along the way. Taken together, these fifty examples tell us much about Britain’s urban development over the centuries, while also highlighting more recent attempts to preserve our architectural heritage. The history of our streets, avenues, lanes and squares reveals more than just changes to architectural style, but offers a doorway into the heritage of our nation.

Download or read book 2 000 Years of Manchester written by Kathryn Coase and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enlightening and entertaining portrait of the English city’s history, legends, and lore, including photos and quotations: “Excellent.” —NB Magazine This is not a chronological history of Manchester filled with names and dates and figures. Rather, it is an eclectic mix of fact, fiction, legend, and myth that presents the history of Manchester from its beginnings as a Roman settlement, then as an insignificant market town, to its place as a city at the heart of the Industrial Revolution and beyond—capturing not only the often tragic lives, times, struggles, and beliefs of the city’s ever-expanding population, but also its resilience and humor. Including photographs, illustrations, poems and quotes, the book ranges from the funny, including the stories of “Spanking Roger” and the “Manchester Mummy” to the tragic stories of “Cholera” and “Mary Bradley”, together with the bizarre “Pig Tales” and the criminal “Scuttlers” and “Purrers.” For anyone interested in urban, social, or English history, this is a well-researched, well-written, and, most importantly, entertaining and informative read.
