UNST 324 - Technology, Science, and Culture in the History of Manchester (Study Group)


This Manchester study group course is an experiential look at the evidence of how technology and science changed Manchester, the first industrial city in the world, and my extension, changed the way we all live in the industrialized modern age. The study group visits an operating textile mill at Helmshore; the site of the first commercially smelted iron in the world at Ironbridge; the Leeds Liverpool Canal and its system of canal locks; the Albert Dock, at Liverpool, a primary 19th-century port for cotton and emigration; North Wales and its early 19th-century bridges and aqueducts; and a slate mine near Mt. Snowdon that provided Victorian Britain with its roof tiles.
