Few cities lend themselves to antique cartography quite like Manchester. By 1887 it was a city of industry, ambition and constant movement, and this vintage plan captures that energy beautifully - from its dense street grid to its railways, stations and borough boundaries. It has all the character of a Victorian city map, making it a brilliant choice for Manchester homes, industrial heritage enthusiasts and anyone who loves wall art with a strong sense of place and history.
