Ursula Rae - Zion Arts Centre. A History of Manchester.

P1090439

Zion Arts Centre. A small room. A few sofa’s. And an interesting talk from Terry Wyke.

The key points of interest that I took from this talk, ( with a focus on industrialising Manchester), research them further maybe-

Life was about suriving. Struggle. And survival.

The vast majority of infants died before taking one step; before they could make a mark upon the city they were born in.

Work from homes transfers into factories. Hand process onto machine.

Explore the back streets of the Northern Quarter, looking for the footprint of the 18th century. Still visible today. Marks from previous eras still visible in the city today.

Cotton in Manchester. Crucial. Developing a small market town in to a world industrial city.
