It was once an industrial wasteland, now it’s Eastlands.

Where there were coalpits, locomotive works, chemical plants and cotton workshops are now sports stadia – Manchester City, the Velodrome (where we hope to witness the cycling training) – a cleaned-up canal, a new Metrolink line and millions of pounds of investment.

We will unravel how the beating heart of industrial Manchester became the soul of the new 21st century city.

Eastlands 1Stuart Street Power Station in Manchester, 31 December 1946.
