The Urban Fingerprint
“Manchester's mix of historic streets and modern development makes it ideal for city map art. A Manchester map print captures the city's industrial heritage and urban charm, perfect as a gift or home decoration.”
Manchester (centre: 53.4808°N, 2.2426°W) bears the imprint of the world's first industrial city: canals built in the 1760s–1800s form distinctive linear corridors through the urban fabric, while radial routes connect Victorian mill towns to the city core. The Northern Quarter's tight Georgian grid sits beside modern MediaCityUK's planned layout. A Manchester map poster is the definitive gift for anyone with a connection to this city of firsts.
