Three Manchester academics have collaborated to produce a new book charting the history and development of the city.<\/p>\n

Manchester – Mapping The City chronicles the defining moments, historic events and rapid growth of Manchester, from the cotton trade in the late 18th<\/sup> century to the present day.<\/p>\n

Published by Birlinn this month, Manchester – Mapping The City features more than 100 colour illustrations, shedding light on many previously unpublished resources, uncovering the story of the first industrial city.

Ahead of their talk at the Portico Library<\/a> in December, authors Terry Wyke, Professor Brian Robson and Dr Martin Dodge spoke to The Northern Quota about the book.<\/p>\n

”It\u2019s a book driven by visual images\u2019\u2019, said Martin, a senior lecturer in human geography at the University of Manchester.<\/p>\n

”There\u2019s something intrinsically appealing about colourful and historical maps.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Co-author Terry Wyke, research fellow at Manchester Metropolitan University stressed the educational value of such resources.  
\n\t”I have had a long interest in the history of cartography, an interest that was sharpened in seeing how historical maps helped students develop an understanding of different cultures and issues in the past,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tMaps take so many different forms and record such a variety of information<\/em><\/span>
\n\t\t <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Some of the resources the co-authors found took them by surprise. One such example is the \u2018cab fare\u2019 map, discovered in the British Library. Unearthed by Brian Robson, emeritus professor at the University of Manchester, the map was created by cartographer Llewellyn Syers and has since been nicknamed the \u2018Uber of 1868<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

”Cab maps were an attempt to help people calculate the likely fare for a journey in the days before the taximeter was invented at the end of the 19th<\/sup> century\u2019\u2019, Professor Robson said.<\/p>\n

“The appearance of the Syers map suggests that by the 1860s Manchester had enough Hansom cabs and the city was large enough to warrant a cab fare map.\u2019\u2019
\n\tAlongside great innovations and growth, Manchester: Mapping The City reveals some of the darker aspects of the city\u2019s development.
\n\t”History is created by the powerful,” said Martin. <\/p>\n

”The documents that remain are those that show the wealth and transformation of the city as opposed to the poverty and struggle\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

Many of the images are previously unpublished resources.

Writing a book driven by events rather than people, Martin acknowledged the tendency to \u2018focus on the triumphal regeneration of the city\u2019.<\/p>\n

”I pushed for the last map in the book to be the divided city, showing the rich and developed city centre alongside the homelessness and poverty,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Professor Robson cited poverty as one of Manchester\u2019s biggest challenges for the future.<\/p>\n

”Brexit will impact strongly on the economy, regional inequality continues to present economic problems, traffic in the city threatens to clog its arteries, poverty continues to present challenges.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Even in the face of these issues and recent tragedies like the Manchester Arena bombings<\/a> in 2017, Robson says the future looks hopeful.<\/p>\n

”Manchester has constantly shown itself ready to turn tragedy to advantage, and looking back at the ups and downs of its remarkable history does provide a story in which its citizens can take great pride.”
