| | | | Textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - Greater Manchester Before 1974 the area of Greater Manchester was split between Cheshire and Lancashire with numerous parts being independent county boroughs. The area was informally known as "SELNEC", for "South East Lancashire North East Cheshire". Also small parts of the West Riding of Yorkshire (around Saddleworth) and Derbyshire were covered.
SELNEC had been proposed by the Redcliffe-Maud Report of 1969 as a "metropolitan area". This had roughly the same northern boundary as today's Greater Manchester, but covered much more territory in north-east Cheshire – including Maccles ...

| | | | Textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - Growth of the textile trade By the sixteenth century, the wool trade had made Manchester a flourishing market town. The parish church, now the cathedral, was completed in 1500-1510. The town's growth was given further impetus in 1620 with the start of fustian weaving.
However, the start of the English Civil War in 1642 heralded Manchester's entry into the world of politics and the town's staunch defence of the Parliamentarian faction, led by John Rosworm, was to have repercussions in centuries to come. The town was besieged by Royalist ...

| | | | Textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - Industrial and cultural growth The prosperity from the textile industry lead to an expansion of Manchester and the surrounding conurbation. Many institutions were established including Belle Vue leisure gardens and zoo (founded by John Jennison in 1836), the Manchester Athenaeum (1836-1837) and the Corn Exchange (1837).

| | | | Textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution: Encyclopedia II - History of Manchester - The Industrial Revolution Manchester remained a small market town until the late 18th Century, and the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The myriad small valleys in the Pennine Hills to the north and east of the town, combined with the damp climate, proved ideal for the construction of water-powered Cotton mills such as Quarry Bank Mill, which industrialised the spinning and weaving of cloth.
Manchester, with its transport links to the nearby port of Liverpool, was the natural marketplace for the products of this growing textile industry. With the invent ...

Popular unrest was parallelled by discontent with Manchester's lack of representation at Westminster and the town quickly became a ce ...
