Home to Manchester United and Manchester City, this is a city that needs little introduction. The artistic genius that spawns from Manchester includes Oasis, The Smiths, New Order and Ten. On the other hand are the BBC Philharmonics and The Halle symphony orchestras, also based in Manchester. From performance theatres, museums and galleries to literature influences as great as Charles Dickens, Manchester has been a source of awe and inspiration to generations.

The name Manchester derives its roots from the Roman word for fort and settlement, also thought to be the Welsh word for mother. As such, you can take a guess at how old this settlement must be in England. The Brigantes, a major Celtic tribe, were said to have lived where the Manchester Cathedral now stands. A Roman fort is said to have been built here after the Roman conquest of the first century AD, to ward off these Celtic tribes. In 1421, Thomas de la Warre constructed a collegiate parish that is now Manchester Cathedral. In the fourteenth century, Manchester had become a major hub of wools and linen production, and by 1540 John Leland said Manchester had become “The fairest, best builded, quickest, and most populous town of all Lancashire”.

In 1780, Manchester’s first cotton mill was made, thus opening the doors for Industrial Revolution. Due to its fast rise in urbanisation and industrialisation, Fredrick Engels worked from Manchester on his research titled ‘The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844’, and so the city quickly became a hub of left wing politics and Marxism.

Since then, Manchester’s economy has changed in scope and now is largely dependent on the service sector. The city was ranked the second best in the United Kingdom to do business and the twelfth best in all of Europe. ‘Liverpool is the fifth largest financial centre in all of the UK’ says Vernon Pethard, Managing Director of www.newhomesforsale.co.uk, the UK's leading new homes property website.

Anyone looking to buy new homes in Manchester can benefit from all these economic opportunities and should look into these constituencies, as given under the electoral register for Manchester in 2010.

Manchester is a city and metropolitan borough in Greater Manchester, Britain. It has a total population of approximately 483,800 residents, making it the country’s seventh most populated local authority district. Manchester is known as the best city to live after London for both its vibrant cosmopolitan environment and the availability of leisure and retailing amenities.

 

It doesn’t matter if you have an interest in performing arts and music, leisure and sport, or heritage and tourism, Manchester offers something for everyone. The city has always been an excellent place for enjoying life to the fullest. With a comparatively low cost of living, impressive variety of housing choices and excellent schooling, the city is perfect for people with all budgets and tastes.

 

Manchester’s thriving nightlife and music scene is a major attraction that draws large number of tourists each year. The city is home to a number of leading night clubs and music venues and plays host to high scale events and concerts, according to Vernon Pethard, Managing Director of www.newhomesforsale.co.uk, the new homes property website.

For food lovers, Manchester offers an unrivalled range of options. From traditional home made pub food to Michelin-starred restaurants, the city has a lot to offer. Most of the high end restaurants are located in the downtown area, predominantly around King Steer, St Ann’s Square and Deansgate.

As well as this, the China Town area has an array of oriental restaurants. Not very far is Manchester’s notorious Canal Street- the centre of the city’s flourishing Gay Village boasting a number of outstanding clubs, café bars and restaurants. For something more cultural yet less formal, Manchester’s Northern Quarter features an array of cool cafes and bars.

What Manchester is short of in terms of prominent landmarks, it superbly compensates for in its rich and diverse cultural and arts scene. The Museum of Industry and Science, Manchester Arts Gallery and Whitworth Arts Gallery are all as much relaxing as they are scintillating.

French Connection, Zara, Harvey Nichol’s and Armani are just a few options you can find in the downtown area.
