The Surging City of Manchester, England

With a 2007 population 458,000, Manchester is located in the northwest of England, and is part of one of the largest metropolitan areas in the UK. The city has experienced a recent rise after the collapse of its traditional manufacturing base, as the city was a powerful textile center. To illustrate this transformation, a 2006 survey of business leaders in Manchester in the UK has proved to be the best place in the UK to locate a business. Manchester is the third most visited city in the UK by foreigners, and is well known for their football - especially the most famous football club in the medieval world, Manchester United. Although Manchester has been in effect since medieval times, the architecture is very little. The city was badly damaged during World War II, and an IRA bomb in 1996 caused more damage. But the result was a lot of redevelopment, with the substitution of more recent buildings of the war is irrelevant with a unique modern architecture. Much of the former, more specifically, the Victorian architecture is juxtaposed, which makes a nice effect. For a great example of Victorian architecture at its best, check the Victorian Gothic style Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square. There is a strong cultural tradition in Manchester and the city boasts many excellent museums, a wide range of topics. The Museum of Science and Industry is located in the former Liverpool Street station, and offers a wide selection of steam locomotives, aircraft and industrial machinery. The Manchester Museum opened to the public since 1880 with its collections of natural history and Egyptology. Manchester also has an active music scene and has a lively nightlife, which has expanded exponentially since the early 1990s. The city has made a significant investment in bars, nightclubs and pubs. The true strength of character of the city remains the most different, as the village, the northern district and Chinatown. Manchester is a vibrant city with a bright prospect for the future.
