Talk:History of Manchester

Population
How about some specific numbers about the rate of Manchester's growth during the Industrial Revolution. I know for a fact it skyrocketed but I didn't see any numbers when skimming through the article. [anon ]

On the civil war in Manchester, The Earl of Derby, (Lord Strange) may have been beaten back by the weather - there is speculation that the Irwell River flooded into his powder supplies and rendered them useless. Though Manchester was not attacked directly again in the Civil war, its garrison was used repeatedly in the campaigns. 'Manchester Men' had a fierce reputation on the field, and Thomas Fairfax was briefly stationed in Manchester to lead them. Manchester Men helped to bring about the end of the Royalist hold on Nantwich in 1644. (User:arthurchappell

Not sure where to put this
we might find it worth mentioning the extent of the ancient parish of Manchester, which included apart from the core parish, Manchester Our Lady, St George and St Denys, also the chapelries/townships (40 altogether) of

Blackley Chorlton cum Hardy Denton Didsbury Gorton Newton Salford Stretford Ardwick Bradford Broughton Burnage Cheetham Crumpsall Harpurhey Haughton Heaton Norris Hulme Levenshulme Moss Side Moston Openshaw Reddish Rusholme Withington


 * notably, this contains some areas which are now part of the boroughs of Trafford, Tameside, Stockport and Salford.

Chetham's Library
Re Chetham's Library as first public library: have taken this out of the introductory text as other public libraries did precede it. Chetham's Library is now the oldest surviving public library in the UK.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Medical schools
The statement about the school of anatomy needs a reference. Thompson, Joseph; The Owens College, 1886 gives an account of a failure to combine medical schools with the college in 1856 (pp. 149-52). The establishment of the Medical School was in 1872 and it moved to the same site as the rest of the college in 1874.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 21:15, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
 * This has now been removed: "which immediately absorbed the Mount Street School of Anatomy, founded in 1814, the first medical school in England outside Oxford, Cambridge and London"" The school was conducted by Joseph Jordan between 1814 and 1834 when he retired. In 1824 Thomas Turner founded the Manchester School of Medicine in Pine Street with courses in anatomy, physiology, pathology, materia medica, surgery, midwifery and botany. "The fact that the Manchester School was the first fully equipped medical school in the provinces was recognised in 1836 in official circles, and the compliment paid of the Royal Patronage being extended to it, with the title of the Manchester Royal School of Medicine." (E. M. Brockbank)

Bomb triggering regeneration
I realise that this is a commonly-held idea, but it's also quite contentious and by no means universally agreed. Without a decent reference I don't think this point is strong enough to belong in the opening. So I'm amending it. pomegranate (talk) 14:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Beetham Tower Image
The caption on the Beetham Tower image states it is the tallest building in Manchester, which is no longer the case as the south tower of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deansgate_Square has now surpassed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:4B00:E404:B200:9406:5B8F:4258:6B10 (talk) 22:55, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
