The history of Manchester began with the civilian settlement that was established in AD 79 on a sandstone nearby the rivers Irwell and Medlock. The areas lying on the south bank of the River Mersey were merged in the 20th century and it became the part of Lanchester city.

Manchester remained the manorial township throughout the middle ages but started to expand in the turn of 19th century “at an astonishing rate”.  The unplanned urbanisation of Manchester come to boom with the revolution of textile manufacturing.
