Among the topics featured here are sporting events (such as catching a greased pig), marathons, the two world wars, ghosts, murders, and even buried treasure! Local people are also recalled, including a Channel swimmer and an Oscar winner.

Readable, informative and entertaining, this richly illustrated volume will intrigue and delight everyone who knows and loves the city of Manchester.
