Hello
I would like to let members of the list know about a new cartographic book
that charts the growth and development of Manchester that was published
just last week.
Manchester: Mapping the City features more than 100 old maps, original plans
and birds-eye views, to chart the history of the city as it grew rich on its
cotton trade from the late 18th century, experienced periods of boom and bust
through the Victorian period, and began its post-industrial rejuvenation in the
late 20th century.
More details on the book are available at http://www.mappingmanchester.org
The book is published by Birlinn and is part of their successful series of
Mapping the City books, https://www.birlinn.co.uk/Cartography-books/
many thanks for your time
