Mini Guide to Manchester Airport

By the mid-19th century 350,000 people had been drawn to this new metropolis to work in the thriving cotton mills, and although it went through a dramatic decline during the post-war years, the last decade has seen a remarkable renaissance which has thrust Manchester back into the limelight. A devastating IRA bomb blast in 1996 damaged huge swathes of the city centre, but forward thinking planners used the opportunity to revitalise the area.
The result has been remarkable as the ugly 1960s veneer that once dominated has been replaced by some of the most exciting and innovative buildings in Britain.
This renewal has provided the catalyst for a host of new shops, bars, restaurants and museums. Much of nearby Salford, strictly speaking a city in its own right, has been transformed from being run-down and boarded-up, to being ultra-trendy. It is also home to two of the area’s most stunning new buildings; the Daniel Libeskind designed Imperial War Museum, and Michael Wilford’s Lowry Centre. Of course the most obvious symbol of Manchester’s resurgence is Manchester United. The Red Devils may have only won two European Cups (to Liverpool’s five), but on a commercial level they have become untouchable. Their 67,000 capacity Old Trafford stadium – with its trophy laden museum and supermarket size megastore – is one of Manchester’s most popular tourist attractions. Fellow Premiership side Manchester City meanwhile have recently moved to the impressive new City of Manchester Stadium east of the city centre. They say it always rains in Manchester, and although this is not strictly true, there must be something in the air to inspire the wealth of musical talent that has emerged from the city. Indie giants like Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, and The Stone Roses all hail from Manchester, as well pop acts like Oasis, Simply Red, and the oft-forgotten Rick Astley (discovered in a chip shop in nearby Newton-le-Willows).
