Manchester map poster

Canals, mills, and a grid that grew with the cotton trade.

Manchester is an industrial map: the Irwell and the canals cutting through the centre, the warehouses of the Northern Quarter, and radial roads out to the mill towns.

Shown here in the Slate theme. Slate fits a city built in brick and iron. This preview is a live map: in the studio you can drag it to frame the exact area you want, switch between 30 hand-tuned themes, set your own caption, and download it at print resolution.
