Manchester Overview
Manchester is a major city in the northwest of England with a rich
industrial heritage. The Castlefield conservation area’s 18th-century
canal system recalls the city’s days as a textile powerhouse, and
visitors can trace this history at the interactive Museum of Science
& Industry. The revitalised Salford Quays dockyards now house the
Daniel Libeskind-designed Imperial War Museum North and the Lowry
cultural centre.
