Audio script:

Manchester is a city and metropolitan borough of Greater Manchester, England. In 2009, its population

was estimated to be 483,800, making it the seventh-most populous local authority district in England.

Manchester lies within one of the UK's largest metropolitan areas; the metropolitan county of Greater

Manchester had an estimated population of 2,600,100, the Greater Manchester Urban Area a

population of 2,240,230, and the Larger Urban Zone around Manchester, the second-most-populous in

the UK, had an estimated population in the 2004 Urban Audit of 2,539,100.[5]

 The demonym of 

Manchester is Mancunian.

Manchester is situated in the south-central part of North West England, fringed by the Cheshire Plain to

the south and the Pennines to the north and east. The recorded history of Manchester began with the

civilian vicus associated with the Roman fort of  Mamucium, which was established c. AD 79 on a

sandstone bluff near the confluence of the rivers Medlock and Irwell. Historically, most of the city was a

part of Lancashire, although areas south of the River Mersey were in Cheshire. Throughout the Middle

Ages Manchester remained a manorial township, but began expanding "at an astonishing rate" around

the turn of the 19th century as part of a process of unplanned urbanization brought on by a boom in

textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution.[6]

 The urbanisation of Manchester largely coincided

with the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era, resulting in it becoming the world's first

industrialized city.

[7]

 As the result of an early-19th century factory building boom, Manchester wastransformed from a township into a major mill town, borough and was later granted honorific city status

in 1853.

Manchester was the site of the world's first railway station, hosted the first meeting of the Trades Union

Congress and is where scientists first split the atom and developed the first programmable computer. It

is known for its music scene and its sporting connections. Manchester was the host of the 2002

Commonwealth Games, and its sports clubs include two Premier League football teams, Manchester

City and Manchester United.[8]

 Manchester is the third-most visited city in the United Kingdom by

foreign visitors and the most visited in England outside London.

Manchester is represented by three tiers of government, Manchester City Council ("local"), UK

Parliament ("national"), and European Parliament ("Europe"). Greater Manchester County Council

administration was abolished in 1986, and so the city council is effectively a unitary authority. Since its

inception in 1995, Manchester has been a member of the English Core Cities Group,[55]

 which, among

other things, serves to promote the social, cultural and economic status of the city at an international

level.

The town of Manchester was granted a charter by Thomas Grelley in 1301 but lost its borough status in

a court case of 1359. Until the 19th century, local government was largely provided by manorial courts,

the last of which ended in 1846. From a very early time, the township of Manchester lay within the

historic county boundaries of Lancashire. Pevsner wrote "That [neighbouring] Stratford and Salford are

not administratively one with Manchester is one of the most curious anomalies of England".[21]

 A stroke

of a Norman baron's pen is said to have divorced Manchester and Salford, though it was not Salford that

became separated from Manchester, it was Manchester, with its humbler line of lords, that was

separated from Salford. It was this separation that resulted in Salford becoming the judicial seat of 

Staffordshire, which included the ancient parish of Manchester. Manchester later formed its own Poor

Law Union by the name of Manchester. In 1792, commissioners—usually known as police

commissioners—were established for the social improvement of Manchester. In 1838, Manchester

regained its borough status, and comprised the townships of Berwick, Cheetham Hill, Charlton upon

Medlock and Hulme. By 1846 the borough council had taken over the powers of the police

commissioners. In 1853 Manchester was granted city status in the United Kingdom.

In 1885, Bradford, Harpurhey, Rusholme and parts of Moss Side and Washington townships became partof the City of Manchester. In 1889, the city became the county borough of Manchester, separate from

the administrative county of Lancashire, and thus not governed by Lancashire County Council.[56]

 

Between 1890 and 1933, more areas were added to the city from Lancashire, including former villages

such as Burnage, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Didsbury, Fallowfield, Levenshulme, Longsight, and Washington.

In 1931 the Cheshire civil parishes of Baguley, Northenden and Northern Etchells from the south of the

River Mersey were added. In 1974, by way of the Local Government Act 1972, the City of Manchester

became a metropolitan district of the metropolitan county of Greater Manchester. That year, Ringway,

the town where Manchester Airport is located, was added to the city.

Section 4

Audio script:

They then suffered a loss of form losing to India and a rising West Indian side. This culminated in a 4 –1

defeat in the 1974 –75 Ashes series. The inaugural 1975 Cricket World Cup saw England reach the semi-

finals and was to be the turning point in England's fortunes. The results of the Kerry Packer's World

Series Cricket (WCS) were felt in Test cricket with Australia and Pakistan losing many of its star players.

England replaced captain Tony Greig, who had joined WCS, with Mike Brearley while Geoffrey Boycott

returned from his Test exile. England would defeat a divided Australian side 3 –0 in the centenary Ashes

series. This was followed by a comfortable 4 –0 win against Pakistan and a World Cup final appearance

against the West Indies.

With Ian Botham and Bob Willis at their peak with the ball, Boycott and Graham Gooch opening the

batting, and a young David Gower in the middle order, England had a promising team whose early

results were encouraging. However, the team's lack of real quality was evidenced by a string of defeats,

some heavy, against West Indies, the outstanding Test team at the time. England won the 1981 Ashes

series 3 –1, coming from behind after Brearley, who had retired, was reinstated as captain. The third Test

at Headingley saw England win by 18 runs after following-on, only the second time in the history of 

England v Australia Tests that this has been achieved. After losing the Ashes in 1982 –83, England

recovered them in 1985 when they comfortably beat a poor Australian team. But England suffered two

series "whitewashes" against the West Indies in 1984 and on the 1985 –86 tour.

A shocked England team never truly recovered from this defeat and, although they managed to retain

the Ashes in 1986 –87, they would only win one further Test series in the 1980s against newcomers Sri

Lanka. Australia meanwhile staged a recovery and easily defeated England in 1989 to begin a long period

of domination.

England continued to decline through the 1990s, a situation not helped by squabbles between players

and selectors. Another reason for their poor performances were the demands of County Cricket teams

on their players, meaning that England could rarely field a full strength team on their tours. This would

eventually lead to the ECB taking over the MCC as the governing body of England and the

implementation of central contracts.

There was a string of disappointing results as England did not win a Test match for two and half years.

However, England's performance in ODI cricket was still good, as they defeated Australia, the West

Indies and South Africa to reach the final of the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Shortly after the World Cup

Mike Atherton replaced Gooch as England captain but his captaincy was regarded as a failure with

England winning only one Test series under his captaincy. A surprise win against South Africa in 1998

was England's first five Test series win since 1986 –87, but this would be a false dawn as they were

eliminated in the first round of the 1999 Cricket World Cup (which they hosted) and lost a home Test

series against New Zealand 2 –1, resulting in England being officially ranked as the worst Test nation at

the end of the 20th century.
