Manchester is a city and metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, England. In 2009, its population

was estimated to be 483,800, making it the seventh-most populous local authority district in England.

Manchester lies within one of the UK's largest metropolitan areas; the metropolitan county of Greater

Manchester had an estimated population of 2,600,100, the Greater Manchester Urban Area a

population of 2,240,230, and the Larger Urban Zone around Manchester, the second-most-populous in

the UK, had an estimated population in the 2004 Urban Audit of 2,539,100.[5]

The demonym of

Manchester is Mancunian.

Manchester is situated in the south-central part of North West England, fringed by the Cheshire Plain to

the south and thePenninesto the north and east. The recorded history of Manchester began with the

civilianvicusassociated with the Roman fort ofMamucium, which was establishedc.AD 79 on a

sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. Historically, most of the city was a

part of Lancashire, although areas south of the River Mersey were in Cheshire. Throughout the Middle

Ages Manchester remained a manorial township, but began expanding "at an astonishing rate" around

the turn of the 19th century as part of a process of unplanned urbanization brought on by a boom in

textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution.[6]

The urbanisation of Manchester largely coincided

with the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era, resulting in it becoming the world's first

industrialized city.[7]

As the result of an early-19th century factory building boom, Manchester was

transformed from a township into a major mill town, borough and was later granted honorific city statusin 1853.

Manchester was the site of the world's first railway station, hosted the first meeting of the Trades Union

Congress and is where scientists first split the atom and developed the first programmable computer. It

is known for its music scene and its sporting connections. Manchester was the host of the 2002

Commonwealth Games, and its sports clubs include two Premier League football teams, Manchester

City and Manchester United.[8]

Manchester is the third-most visited city in the United Kingdom by

foreign visitors and the most visited in England outside London.

Manchester is represented by three tiers of government, Manchester City Council ("local"), UK

Parliament ("national"), and European Parliament ("Europe"). Greater Manchester County Council

administration was abolished in 1986, and so the city council is effectively a unitary authority. Since its

inception in 1995, Manchester has been a member of the English Core Cities Group,[55]

which, among

other things, serves to promote the social, cultural and economic status of the city at an international

level.

The town of Manchester was granted a charter by Thomas Grelley in 1301 but lost its borough status in

a court case of 1359. Until the 19th century, local government was largely provided by manorial courts,

the last of which ended in 1846. From a very early time, the township of Manchester lay within the

historic county boundaries of Lancashire. Pevsner wrote "That [neighbouring] Stratford and Salford are

not administratively one with Manchester is one of the most curious anomalies of England".[21]

A stroke

of a Norman baron's pen is said to have divorced Manchester and Salford, though it was not Salford that

became separated from Manchester, it was Manchester, with its humbler line of lords, that was

separated from Salford. It was this separation that resulted in Salford becoming the judicial seat of

Staffordshire, which included the ancient parish of Manchester. Manchester later formed its own Poor

Law Union by the name of Manchester. In 1792, commissionersusually known as police

commissionerswere established for the social improvement of Manchester. In 1838, Manchester

regained its borough status, and comprised the townships of Berwick, Cheetham Hill, Charlton upon

Medlock and Hulme. By 1846 the borough council had taken over the powers of the police

commissioners. In 1853 Manchester was granted city status in the United Kingdom.

In 1885, Bradford, Harpurhey, Rusholme and parts of Moss Side and Washington townships became partof the City of Manchester. In 1889, the city became the county borough of Manchester, separate from

the administrative county of Lancashire, and thus not governed by Lancashire County Council.[56]

Between 1890 and 1933, more areas were added to the city from Lancashire, including former villages

such as Burnage, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Didsbury, Fallowfield, Levenshulme, Longsight, and Washington.

In 1931 the Cheshire civil parishes of Baguley, Northenden and Northern Etchells from the south of the

River Mersey were added. In 1974, by way of the Local Government Act 1972, the City of Manchester

became a metropolitan district of the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester. That year, Ringway,

the town where Manchester Airport is located, was added to the city.

Tom: good morning.

Harry: good morning, tom. How are you?

T: how are you Harry? Its been long since i called you.

H: so where have you been all these days?

T: i went to visit the Scottish highlands recently.

H: how was your journey?

T: it was very nice. I always like the place.

H: what did you see there? Can you tell me something about the place?

T: yes of course. The area is generally sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the

region, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis. Before the 19th century the

Highlands was home to a much larger population, but due to a combination of factors including the

outlawing of the traditional Highland way of life following the Jacobite Rising of 1745, the infamous

Highland Clearances, and mass migration to urban areas during the Industrial Revolution, the area is

now one of the most sparsely populated in Europe. The average population density in the Highlands and

Islands is lower than that of Sweden, Norway, Papua New Guinea and Argentina.

H: all right. I have never been there.

T: The Scottish Highlands lie to the north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault, which runs from

Arran to Stonehaven and contains some of the most interesting geology in Europe. This part of Scotland

is largely composed of ancient rocks from the Cambrian and Precambrian periods which were uplifted

during the later Caledonian Orogeny. Smaller formations ofLewisian gneiss in the north west are up to

3,000 million years old and amongst the oldest found anywhere on Earth. The overlying rocks of the

Torridonian sandstone form spectacular mountains in the Torridon Hills such as Liathach and Beinn

Eighe in Wester Ross.

H: that is interesting.

T: i also visited the Balmoral Estate.

H: what is that?

T: The Balmoral Estate began as a home built by Sir William Drummond in 1390.[2]

The estate was

formerly owned by King Robert II (13161390), who had a hunting lodge in the area. After Drummond,

the estate was sold to Alexander Gordon, the 3rd Earl of Huntly, in the 15th century. The estate

remained in the family's hands until it was sold in 1662 to the Farquharsons of Invery, who sold the

estate in 1798 to the 2nd Earl Fife. The estate formed part of the coronation activities of King George IV

in 1822.

Balmoral is today best known as a royal residence, the summer retreat of Queen Elizabeth II and The

Duke of Edinburgh. Its history as a royal residence dates back to 1848, when the house was leased toQueen Victoria and Prince Albert by the trustees of Sir Robert Gordon (who had obtained a long-term

lease of the castle in 1830 and died in 1847). They very much enjoyed their stay in the house, and paid

just over 30,000 for full ownership in 1852. Prince Albert immediately started making plans with

William Smith to extend the existing 15th century castle, and make a new and bigger castle fit for the

royal family. The new building Prince Albert ordered to be built within a hundred yards of the old castle

was planned and designed partly by himself and completed in 1856.

H: that sounds great. So you had a nice time for you.

T: yes, absolutely. Well; call you later. Bye.

H: bye.

The conventional view of English origins is that the English are primarily descended from the Anglo-

Saxons, Germanic tribes that migrated to Great Britain following the end of the Roman occupation of

Britain, with assimilation of later migrants such as the Vikings and Normans. This version of history is

considered by some historians and geneticists as simplistic or even incorrect.

The Celts, particularly their use ofBrythonic languages such as Cornish, Cumbric, and Welsh, held on for

several centuries in parts of England such as Cornwall, Devon, Cumbria, Northumberland, the West

Midlands (particularly Herefordshire and Shropshire), Cheshire, Lancashire, and parts ofYorkshire

(particularly West Yorkshire). However, the notion of the Anglo-Saxon English has traditionally been

important in defining English identity and distinguishing the English from their Celtic neighbours, such as

the Scots, Welsh, Cornish and Irish. Historian Catherine Hills describes what she calls the "national origin

myth" of the English:

The arrival of the Anglo-Saxons ... is still perceived as an important and interesting event because it is

believed to have been a key factor in the identity of the present inhabitants of the British Isles, involving

migration on such a scale as to permanently change the population of south-east Britain, and making

the English a distinct and different people from the Celtic Irish, Welsh and Scots ....this is an example of

a national origin myth ... and shows why there are seldom simple answers to questions about origins.[7]

A popular interest in English identity is evident in the recent reporting of scientific and sociological

investigations of the English, in which their complex results are heavily simplified. In 2002, the BBC used

the headline "English and Welsh are races apart" to report a genetic survey of test subjects from market

towns in England and Wales,[8]

while in September 2006,The Sunday Timesreported that a survey of

first names and surnames in the UK had identified Ripley in Derbyshire as "the 'most English' place in

England with 88.58% of residents having an English ethnic background".[9]

TheDaily Mailprinted an

article with the headline "We're all Germans! (and we have been for 1,600 years)".[10]In all these cases,

the language of race is employed by the journalists.[11]

In addition, several recent books, including those ofStephen Oppenheimer and Brian Sykes, have argued

that the recent genetic studies in fact do not show a clear dividing line between the English and their

'Celtic' neighbours, but that there is a gradual clinal change from west coast Britain to east coast Britain.

They suggest that the majority of the ancestors of British peoples were the original palaeolithic settlers

of Great Britain, and that the differences that exist between the east and west coasts of Great Britain

though not large, are deep in prehistory, mostly originating in the upper palaeolithic and Mesolithic

(15,000-7,000 years ago). Furthermore, Oppenheimer states that genetic testing has proven that "75%

of British and Irish ancestors arrive[d] between 15,000 and 7,500 years ago".[12]

Oppenheimer also claims that Celtic split from Indo-European earlier than previously suspected, some6000 years ago, while English split from Germanic before the Roman period. Oppenheimer believes that

a Germanic language that became English was spoken by the tribes of what is now England long before

the arrival of the Anglo-Saxon and also discounts the view that the people of the area were ever Celtic.
