History of Manchester - 5. Railway City!

In the next chapter of Manchester's history we finally get to the exciting stuff! Trains!

Starting off by briefly looking at the Liverpool-Manchester Railway, the world's first proper steam-powered passenger service between two towns, we'll see how the arrival of George Stephenson's railway changed the city.

Then we'll look at how the railway age really did dawn here in Manchester, including its numerous beautiful iron bridges and the long brick viaducts which surround the city centre on all sides.

Then we'll see how the railways made Manchester a 'Warehouse City', a metropolis full of massive, sometimes ornate warehouses.

Finally we'll look at the multitude of stations in the city, including Liverpool Road, Oldham Road, Piccadilly, Victoria, Central, Exchange, Oxford Road and Deansgate.
