I was born and bred in Manchester and lived in the inner city area shown on the ancient map of your video. (I am very old). I consider myself a true Mancunian with my ancestors on many threads having migrated to the inner city areas, again on your map, in the late 1700’s through to the 1870’s. I knew those streets very well because my grandparents and parents also worked in the Manchester mill buildings and the coal mine. I was familiar with those streets so, it was with knowledge and personal information that I was able to research the 1911 census regarding those streets; they were just a few yards from where I was born and lived for the first twenty years of my life. The deaths of each family’s children are recorded on this 1911 census so I decided to investigate the infant mortality rate in the few streets around my own house going back to that period of time. The result was mind blowing. My research revealed that, though each family usually had many children, an average of almost 31% had died as children in that total of 50 households. My own mother who was born in 1910 and is listed on this particular 1911 portion of the census lost two siblings. The conditions of workplaces and living spaces and industrial pollution were out of their control. Even though my family and others in those days were not responsible for the city pollution or their general environment or the lack of welfare from their factory overseers, I am resolved to believe that those times and even part of my own times belong to history. We will record the mistakes and injustices carried out by the long-dead masters of our past, learn from it all and then move on hopefully to better times.
I have lived in Manchester for nine years. I moved here for university when I was 20. It is now more of a culturally significant place than it was during the revolution.
That is an excellent digest. You did very well to get it into the ten minutes. If I was looking out of the window of this room the year my house was built I would see that pall of smoke hanging over the Manchester skyline.
In many third world countries today the working and ling condition of the people is worst than those people of Manchester during the British industrial revolution hundreds of years ego.

That is an excellent digest. You did very well to get it into the ten minutes. If I was looking out of the window of this room the year my house was built I would see that pall of smoke hanging over the Manchester skyline.
