Manchester: Quick City Overview
https://i.imgur.com/0F3Z7QX.jpg City: Manchester County: Manchester Place: Quick City Overview Although it was founded by the Roman Empire more than 2000 years ago, Manchester determined its identity during the english textile revolution of the 19th Century, in what was a radical change for the city with the construction of hundreds of factories and an exquisite repertoire of industrial architecture. Like London, it was intensely bombed by the germans and it fell into decay for several decades. However, as often happens in the urban evolution of many cities of the world,it completely reversed its course in the last 30 years, becoming the second most important city in England and a new pole of modern architecture within the United Kingdom. https://i.imgur.com/YnlII3h.jpg https://i.imgur.com/uN8ysIE.jpg https://i.imgur.com/H9RfCxf.jpg |
