MANCHESTER

Manchester is often known as the "Gateway to the North"

Andy Burnham was elected the first mayor of Great Manchester

Nicknames Cottonopolis, due to the city`s huge cotton industry

Chetham`s Library was the first to be opened to the public

Home to the world`s longest running soap - Coronation Street

Electronic stores programme computer "Baby" weighed 500kg

Stone Roses, The Smiths and Oasis were all from this city

The Worker Bee shows Mancunian`s work ethic with city activities

Earliest known railway station, was surprisingly built on Liverpool Street 

Red Devils - Man United or The Citizens -Man City, have a huge following!
