Manchester was Britain's first railway city: the success of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in 1830 inspired many entrepreneurs and businessmen to build their own lines, not only to share in the success of the Liverpool and Manchester but to tap into the wealth of Britain's first industrial city. This book explores the emergence of railways around Manchester, how they grew, and their legacy for the city's rail network today.
