Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Manchester in the century between 1850 and 1950 witnessed extraordinary growth and changes. In the mid-nineteenth century, Manchester was the worlds first industrialised city, home of the Industrial Revolution and known as Cottonopolis. It was a city of immigrants from the countryside, Irel…and, Scotland and further afield, where slums and poverty existed in close proximity to great wealth. The unique conditions in the city made it a breeding ground for crimes of all kinds, from the high crimes of murder and large-scale robberies, frauds and theft, to low-level crimes such as pickpocketing, mugging and other street crimes. Snoozer gangs robbed hotels in Victorian Manchester and the city was home to numerous jewel thieves over the years including Lucky Edgar. Some crimes were even politically motivated, such as the suffragette law breaking, while others such as youth crime, which is often portrayed as a recent phenomenon, actually has a long history stretching back to the teenage scuttler gangs of the late nineteenth century.This collection of true-life crime stories gives a vivid insight into life in Manchester in years gone by. This book will fascinate anyone with an interest in the history of crime, as well as those who want to know more about the history of Manchester. This collection of true life crime stories gives a vivid insight into life in Manchester in the past.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Northwich has an impressive history stretching back to Roman times when the surrounding area was exploited for its salt pans. Although the towns history goes back so far, the township was a very small one, comprising little more than 6 square acres of land. It was surrounded by nearby large…r communities such as Witton-cum-Twambrooks, Leftwich, Hartford and Davenham. However, during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Northwich expanded to incorporate many of these neighbouring towns and villages, and is now largely indistinguishable from such parishes. There is one long continuous ribbon of development stretching out into the Cheshire countryside.In Northwich & Around in 50 Buildings, local authors Adrian and Dawn L. Bridge seek out landmarks and structures from across the centuries which are significant to the town. These are the buildings that reveal the fascinating history of Northwich and its environs and tell the story of its people and their way of life. Focusing upon key themes including ancient buildings, portable buildings, industrial heritage, residences of the rich and poor, Victorian paternalism, leisure and retail, and modern buildings, the authors study a wide range of structures that served many different purposes and were built in contrasting styles.Among those featured are Vale Royal Abbey, Arley Hall, the Lion Salt Works, Anderton Boat Lift, the local workhouse, churches, schools, pubs, hospitals and places of entertainment. Coming right up to the twenty-first century, the Barons Quay development and the Northwich Memorial Court complex are also included in this detailed and engaging chronicle of the areas history and architecture. Discover the history and architectural treasures of the Cheshire town of Northwich and its environs in this fascinating exploration of 50 buildings and landmarks - old and new.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Northwich, at the heart of the Cheshire plain, is situated at the junction of two rivers - the Dane and Weaver. It has an impressive history stretching back to Roman times when the surrounding area was exploited for its salt pans. The town's social and economic history might all be said to be encompas…sed within the three 'S's: salt, soda and shipbuilding. However, as A-Z of Northwich and Around reveals, there is much more to be discovered.Striking a balance between old and more recent times, local authors Adrian L. Bridge and Dawn Preece bring together famous Northwich sons and daughters of today, including singer/songwriter Gary Barlow and athlete Paula Radcliffe, with those of the past, such as the architect John Douglas, the industrialist and politician Sir John Brunner, and the film star Ann Todd.A-Z of Northwich and Around also takes the reader to a wide range of notable locations from the stately homes of Arley Hall, Marbury Hall and Vale Royal Abbey to the industrial landmarks of the Anderton Boat Lift and the Lion Salt Works Museum. Then there are the town buildings of Witton Street with the examples of distinctive black-and-white architecture. While some of the names and places featured will be familiar to local people, there are others that will reveal a hitherto unknown aspect of the town's rich heritage.
