They Came to Manchester
By Stuart B. Jackman
DO YOU REMEMBER MAN-

CHESTER? The rain, the soot, the business men with their bowler hats and their neatly rolled umbrellas, and the trams? Do you remember those narrow Jitle. alley-ways, paved with rough cob- bles and perpetually running with
which water, muddy proudly and so mistakenly called-
And the heavy wagons streets? with great wooden wheels and thlek curved shafts, and the patient might of the huge shire horses that pulled them so willingly and so tirelessly through the endless maze of smoke-stained buildings round Shudehill? Do you remem- ber the grim majesty of the office blocks and the ponderous activity of the warehouses, the dark beauty of the Cathedral and the darker
eam of the river?

Manchester? Remember course you do. Dear, dirty old Manchester, sitting stolidly in its smoke and its rain, with an ex- pression of grim determination and a heart as warm as the taprooms of the little taverns which nestle down together in the Shambles. Manchester, the curse of the Minis- try of Health, the despair of the of the architect, the salvation umbrella trade.
Those Umbrellas!
Every self-respecting Manchester man carries an umbrella. In the
South

Midlands and the umbrella is a sity, something to be carried fur- Lively under the arm and deposited with Joy at the merest suspicion of sunshine. In Yorkshire it is a luxury, in Oxford an affection, in Edinburgh an impossibility. Not so in Manchester,
a cumbersome neces-
The Manchester man carries his umbrella with the pride and the courtliness of a dandy. When he has just sold his queta of cotton he goes marching down Piccadilly air of a drum major, with the swinging his umbrella and whistl ing. When he is in a tight corner he stands at his bus stop with it planted firmly between his feet and his hands crossed decisively over the handle. One can almost see the words "They shall not pass" picked out on the building behind him.
But when it is raining the umbrelin really reaches its finest hour, or rather day, for Manchester rain is notoriously persistent. The streets become black, shining mats of umbrellas, and your busi
man hurries through the struggling crowd on his way to the bus with incredible speed and agility.

The Londoner in a crowd with an open umbrella is like a para- chutt who Jands in the sea; the
Manchester man is a second Blon-
din.
Hold on to your memories, then, If you treasure the Manchester that was. Hold fast to the old sights and the old ways, the smoke and the rain and the strong tide of commercial life, On the night of Sunday, December 22, 1940, "they" came to Manchester.
When they came to Manchester it was dark and very still. The city was sleeping, somewhat fiful- ly, in the peace of the early evening. In the churches the benedictions had been pronounced and the people sent on their way.

This was the Manchester we knew. This was our city, and we loved it,
The first crash brought the city to its feet with a start, only to fall back again blinded by the glare of fire and deafened by the roar of guns.

All day Monday the city licked its wounds and fought its fires. All day the people stood on the outer rim of the city and stared with grey eyes at the horror of the day, at the scorched walls and and shattered windows, at the broken masonry and blasted-brick- work. And with the night again they came.
The Changes
Manchester is slowly getting on to its bruised and battered feet again. But there are a lot of changes. There is much of Mon- chester that will never be the same, that has been destroyed for all time, that will never be re- well, surrected. Perhaps it is 13

And so they came to Manchester and robbed us and left us. Loft us our Manchester courage and our Manchester doggedness, left us our umbrella and our amoko and soot.

To-day we go into the city with our new problems and our come new hopes; to-night we will home on our usual tram, with our. umbrella neatly folded, our paper, and our cheery chatter with the conductor.
