Manchester.
From the 19th century to the 20th century.
within this presentation I will be discussing on how Manchester has changed starting from the early electrical and engineering industries in the early 1900s to the commercial 20th century we live in. this presentation will be specifically focused on the industrial industry of which made Manchester what it is today. I will be exploring into how and why Manchester was such a great place to come for businesses and how such a small city expanded into becoming one of the greatest places to come to in the whole of Britain. However I will be discussing gun crime statistics in the early 90’s.
introduction
I am going to be interviewing Hilary Sorenson, she was born in Manchester 1957. she has lived in Manchester her whole life and was always fascinated with the history of how it came to be one of the greatest cities in England. I was trying to get more of an understanding of how Manchester came from being an industrial city to more of a retail and commercial time.
Primary research
i found out that, Manchester held one of the first industrial parks in the world of which we know today as 'Trafford park'. it opened in 1910 as an industrial park but even before they had made it into a cotton spinning industrial estate it was nicknamed for its beauty and its willingness for nature, it was first opened In 1761 and was given the name Trafford park by its founder 'Richard de Trafford'

however during recent years especially during the 1970's onwards , there was a lot of controversy between all the changes in the country, such as Thatcherism. Thatcherism hit Manchester devastatingly causing the demise of traditional industries. this had caused a massive outbreak and shocked all business owners in Manchester because it was such a dedicated place to start a business up. this was mainly to do to all the other industries within the area. The city's growing industrial manufacturing facilities played a key role in the Second World War, the reason behind this was because of the powerful machinery used in massive factories were used in the production of making bullets and bombs etc.
secondary research
Here are some statistical data from the world war 2, this will be including the population of how much devastation was caused by the Nazi blitz. Also it will be including how population increased during the industrial industry and Thatcherism.
Quantitative research
The industrial industry - From 70,000 in 1801 it rose to 108,000 During world war 2 – during 1940 there was raids in Manchester and they was the heaviest and killed an estimated 684 people and injuring 2364 this happened on the 22nd 23rd and 24th of December.Thatcherism in Manchester – a lot of people took their lives during this time because it was such a hard era to get a job and provide for themselves this took on estimate the working class lives of just under 199 lives.
Quantitative research
As you can see here, this is the gun crime in Manchester during 1999 upwards, this shows that in 1999 it had the most reported crime statistics throughout the years. some theories behind this is that in Manchester, the gay village opened and back in that era being a homosexual was still not tolerated to extent of being called a ‘gay’ was still an insult to many.

This shows that just more than a quarter of my subjects I chose to give my questionnaires to where of the age of 23 and above know more about Manchester than the younger generation, the reason behind this could be that the more older generation have lived throughout Manchester's greatest triumphs and downfalls.

This shows that people agree that technology has damaged the industrial industry, the main reason behind this and what people talked about most was that because there are less jobs due to mechanical engineering which has had an affect on the working class.
Do you think technology has damaged the industrial industry?

This graph shows that Pollution has increased in Manchester over the last 50 years and this could be because there is more cars on the road and people are using up to much fuel. Also there were no signs of global warnings back then and recently it has increased and become more alarming.
a lot of speculation on to what Manchester is now known, angers a lot of the older generation because of people being asked what they know about Manchester and their response being "Manchester united and Manchester city. this irritates people with the intelligence of what made Manchester it is today, this is because throughout the city's greatest achievements to all be wasted and named as just a couple of football clubs would provoke a lot of the people who lived through the bombings and the industrial industry.
Qualitative Research
In the 1990s, gun crime became a major problem in Manchester, with the local police taking measures to prevent gun use by youths. Manchester is often described as the ‘gay capital’ of the UK, as the Canal Street area, known as Gay Village, is frequented by homosexuals. ‘Dean Kirby

Bibliography
during my time researching I have discovered and learnt about all the ways Manchester was known as the first modern city in England, hosted and created the first industrial in the world and how Manchester survived the attacks not just by the bombing but by the Prime Minister (Margaret thatcher). I now have the knowledge to have more of an understanding on what made Manchester such a great place to live in for starting up any business but I now know what such a hard time Manchester was during the war and during the redundancy of Thatcherism.
