About this product

Product Information

The Establishment of the Roman Fort of Mamucium in 79 AD is the first known record of any formal military presence in the area that is now the Castlefield district. The site was previously occupied, as a defensive hill fort, by the ancient Britons, or Brigantes, who were native to the area. Roman auxiliaries used the fort to protect the road from Chester (Deva Victrix) to York (Eboracum). The next major epoch of military activity at Manchester occurred in the Civil War and the Siege of Manchester in 1642. Manchester's declaration as a Parliamentarian town had far-reaching consequences in terms of its military legacy and on the voting rights of Mancunians. The Peterloo Massacre, of August 1819, was the scene of a mass rally brought about by demands to repeal the Corn Laws, introduce universal suffrage and reform other repressive legislation. The cavalry charge that resulted in the deaths of eighteen innocent protesters and the wounding of over 500, took place at St. Peter's Fields (now Square). Its legacy resulted in the establishment of the Manchester Guardian and the rise of radical free-thinking in the city, not always welcomed by those in authority. Both world wars have had a profound influence on the city. Through the pages of the local press the establishment of the Manchester Regiment is detailed as is the later Manchester Pals. Heaton Park became their base while Field Marshal Kitchener visited the city to boost recruitment. Later the Luftwaffe's bombing campaign of December 1940, the Manchester Blitz, left the city with a legacy that has changed it beyond all recognition into the twenty-first century.
