Manchester is the center of British cotton textile industry, an important transportation hub and a commercial, financial and cultural center. It is located in the center of the metropolitan area in northwest England, in the northwest plain of England, and near pennines in the east. Manchester is the birthplace of cotton textile industry. More than 200 years ago, the world's earliest modern cotton textile industry was born here, which opened the curtain of the industrial revolution. With the emergence of cotton textile industry, Manchester has become the pioneer of a new generation of large industrial cities. First, the historical evolution of 65438+ Manchester, the "cotton capital" in the early 2009 century, is inseparable from the industrial revolution, but its existence is much older than that of spinning machines and Jenny machines (early spinning machines). Manchester was developed on the basis of a fortress built by General agricola in 79 AD, and it was a very important town in Roman times. The city of Manzuni has gradually expanded to its present size along Watling Street, connecting London and Chester in the north. People know little about the medieval history of Manchester, partly because the historical record of the city was destroyed by the London fire in 1666. /kloc-in the 0/4th century, Flemish wool and linen textile workers settled here, creating the earliest textile tradition. This town laid a good foundation for processing cotton from American colonies in the 0/8th century. Manchester has canals, convenient transportation, abundant water and coal supply, and an enterprising and innovative cultural tradition (represented by the steam spinning machine invented by Richard Ackerlet). Manchester gave birth to a brand-new textile industry and initiated the industrial revolution. The city name Manchester comes from the old English name "Mamucium" (papillary mountain), and later "ceaster" was added in the evolution, which came from the old Latin "Castra" and became "Manchester". Manchester has a long history. As early as 79 AD, the Romans established a fortress here to control the passage from the foot of Benning Mountain to the seaside. /kloc-Flemish weavers who moved here in the 0/4th century founded flax and wool spinning industries, which laid the first cornerstone for the development of Manchester. It rose in the thirteenth century and developed rapidly after the industrial revolution. /kloc-developed into a prosperous textile industrial city in the middle of the 0/6th century, and its woolen cloth, felt hat and coarse cotton cloth were even exported overseas. In the forty years since 1780, it has a quarter of the national cotton textile industry; It is also the trade center of raw cotton and cotton yarn. Textile, clothing, printing and dyeing are the main industries in the east; In the west, there are mainly automobiles and general machinery. Food processing, chemistry and oil refining are also important. The railway from Liverpool to Manchester was completed on 1830. Ships can reach this city through the Manchester Canal (1894), which is an important port after London and Liverpool. The real rise of Manchester was after the industrial revolution. 1764, Hargreaves, a Lancashire textile worker, invented Jenny's spinning machine, which started the industrial revolution. The first cotton textile mill was born in Manchester in the 1980s. 1789, steam engines began to replace water power and equip textile mills. Since then, the cotton spinning industry here has developed more rapidly. By 1830, there are 99 cotton textile mills in Manchester. The developed cotton textile industry here left a deep impression on Bin Chun, the earliest official sent by the Qing government to Europe for inspection. He wrote in the Travel Notes (1866): "There are 500,000 people here. The market is prosperous and it is the second wharf in Britain. Cotton from China, India and the United States gathered here. Woven fabrics are sold in all walks of life ... and I visited the weaving shop (referring to the factory). This building has five floors and hundreds of rooms above and below. There are 3000 craftsmen, more women than men. The cotton bag starts here. Playing spinning, weaving and dyeing all use steam wheel method ... cotton is divided into three ways, and the original sludge is mixed. Played six or seven times, white as snow and soft as cotton. It is also spun with wheels and spun into filaments. Every seven or eight passes, hundreds of wheels are spinning. In an instant, it became a shaft, thinner than hair. The dyeing place is on the lower floor, and there are all kinds of colors. If you soak less, the color will be bright. There are ten thousand looms, and the shuttle can't stop. Two or three tickets for each machine are distributed to one person. From kapok packaging to dyeing, it takes no more than an instant. How fast? " His account vividly reproduces the grand occasion of cotton textile industry here more than 0/00 years ago. At that time, Manchester had developed from an ancient market town into several big cities in Britain and the capital of the world cotton spinning industry. Today, due to the great recession in the early 20th century, Manchester's industry is beginning to be affected. During World War II, heavy industrial facilities in Manchester were severely bombed and destroyed by Nazi Germany. After the war, Manchester's industry began to decline, but the status of a big city has not changed. Great changes have taken place in the city of Manchester in the past ten years. A large number of buildings built before 1960 have been demolished and replaced by new buildings, while old factories have also been transformed into residential apartments. [Edit this paragraph] 2.

Population Structure at the World Cup Manchester Exchange Square Because Manchester is located in the north-central part of England, when Manchester developed during the Industrial Revolution, a large number of rural people from neighboring villages and other parts of the British Isles went to Manchester City to apply for jobs. Especially in the middle and late forties of 19, because of the severe famine in Ireland, a large number of Irish people went to work in Manchester across the sea. This group of Irish immigrants and their descendants continue to exert their influence in Manchester.
