John J. Parkinson-Bailey's
"Manchester - An Architectural History" is a comprehensive
and critical examination of the city's architecture, from its origins
in the Roman settlement at Castlefield to the present-day rebuilding
of the city centre. The canals, the railways, Trafford Park and
the Trafford Centre have all had an effect on Manchester. Central
government and local politics, planners and developers, loss of
industry and population, bids for Olympic Games, and IRA bombs have
all left their mark on the city.
