They Came to Manchester

By Stuart B. Jackman

YOU REMEMBER MAN-

soot, the business men with their bowler hats and their neatly rolled Do you umbrellas, and the trams?

alley-ways, paved with rough cob- bles and perpetually running with

great wooden wheels and thick curved shafts, and the patient might of the huge shire horses

so tirelessly through the endless maze of smoke-stained buildings round Shudehill? Do you remuni- ber the grim majesty of the office blocks and the ponderous activity of the warehouses, the dark beauty of the Cathedral and the darker gleam of the river?

Remember Manchester? course you do. Dear, dirty old Manchester, sitting stolidly in its smoke and its rain, with an ex- and pression of grim determination

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 Midlands and the South an umbrella is a cumbersome neces- sity, something to be carried fur- tively 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 impossiblllly. Not so in Manchester,

The Manchester mon careles his umbrella with the pride and the courtliness of a dandy. When he has just sold his quota of cotton he goes marching down Piccadilly with the air of a drum major,

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, 1040. "they" came to Manchester.

When they came to Manchester it was dark and very still. The eity was sleeping, somewhat Дtful- ly, in the pence of the early evening. In the churches the benedictions had been pronounced and people sent on their way.

A City On Fire

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 Are and deafened by the roar of guns. Fiying high against the hard stars, they looked down and saw Manchester choking and sprawling In the smoke and furiously fight- ing back the terror of the fires.

where were pain and misery and wanton destruction.

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, ut 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 Man- chester that will never be the same, that has been destroyed for all time, that will never be re- surrected. Perhaps it is as well, for it really was a terribly incon- venient city and nut of date, in its of planning. But we, the people Manchester, can get sentimental few hundrel smoke- blackened bricks and score or so of very dirty windows. We are a hard-headed lot in the main. But Thank God for that now! our hearts are as warm as the next inan's, and we loved the grim ugliness which was our city..

over

Against the sky rise the gaunt walls and broken gables of the city's oldest firms. In the hollow by the river the broken Cathedral raises black Gothic arms to heaven in a gesture of mute suffering. Some of the streets have been efenred and reopened, and down these flows the busy life of the eity, going grimly on its way, Jooking and mending, assessing and condemning, but round the corner is a dead street, with piles of rubble and crumbling walls, where gaping hole calls mutely to gaping hole and the water from the hoses drips in desolation down the shat- tered front of the Royal Exchange,

New Hopes

But the trams are still running and the Munchester folk are stil there. Umbrellas are out and standing, stoully up to rough usage. Business men are hopping about with

But when it is raining the umbrella really reaches its finest hour, or rather day, for Manchester rain is notoriously persistent. The streets become a black, shining mass of umbrellas, and your busi- nena man hurries through the struggling crowd on his way to the bus with Incredible speed and agility.

Manchester was a city of flare and thunder. Th10 great Area burnt like torches and the old pinces went roaring up to the sky In a torment of heat and smoke. Steel and brick, stone and timber rashed down to the very founda- tions of the city. The streets were like rivers of the fire, the buildings were lighter than they had been for months. A great light came over the city and fled hand in hand with Death through the little and by ways, up stone alley-ways staircases and over black-slated roofs, into church and theatre alike, into hotels and warehouses, into shops and into homes.

And everywhere was a great notre such 28 Manchester had never heard before. And every-

And so they came to Manchester and robbed us and left us. Left us our Manchester courage and our Manchester doggedness, left us our umbrella and our smoke and soot, Left us, Manchester people, a little paler, perhaps a little more deter.
