Manchester's rapid growth was the equal of any flowering of the Industrial Revolution - from little more than a village in 1750 to the world's major cotton-milling centre in only a hundred years.

From engine of the Industrial Revolution to test-bed of contemporary urban design, Manchester has no realistic provincial English rival. Its domestic dominance expresses itself in various ways, most swaggeringly in the success of Manchester United, the richest football club in Britain, but also in a thriving music and cultural scene that has given birth to world-beaters as diverse as the Hallé Orchestra and Oasis.
