# Politics and the North-West of England



## History

[[Industrial revolution]] and [[labour movements]] are strongly linked to the North-West of England.

[[Engels]] wrote about [[the conditions of the working class in England]].  Some parts (all?) centred around [[Manchester]].

Also the history of the [[textile industry]], a bit part of the history of the industrial revolution, is very closely linked to Lancashire and Manchester.
