About Manchester Central - show infohide info
Manchester is a borough of northwest England east-northeast of Liverpool. Founded on the site of Celtic and Roman settlements, Manchester was first chartered in 1301. Greater Manchester is densely populated and highly industrialized. The Manchester Ship Canal affords access for oceangoing vessels. Manchester played a key part in the Industrial Revolution. Manchester's damp climate made it and the surrounding area ideal for cotton mills, such as Quarry Bank Mill. Manchester's growth was also aided by its proximity to Liverpool's ports and the emerging rail and canal networks. Towns that run directly into the Manchester urban area include Salford, Sale, Altrincham, Cheadle, Stockport, Ashton-under-Lyne, Oldham, Bury, Rochdale, Stockport and Stretford. Places like Trafford and Salford can be considered part of the Manchester urban area in a way that Wigan or Bolton are not. Places in the borough of Manchester include Ardwick, Burnage, Clayton, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Didsbury, Fallowfield, Gorton, Hulme, Levenshulme, Miles Platting, Moston, Newton Heath, Rusholme, Withington, Whalley Range and Moss Side.
