Manchester's historic Northern Quarter is one of the most popular destinations in the city for bars, restaurants and cafes.
With its eclectic architecture made up of Georgian houses, Edwardian warehouses, Victorian pubs and 20th century department store buildings, it packs a lot in an area that takes up approximately 0.3sq km of Manchester city centre. Efforts to conserve and regenerate the Northern Quarter started back in 1987, resulting in a period of investment and rapid change during the 1990s.
Back in 2018, the Manchester Evening News unearthed a vintage copy of City Life, a guide to the region's cafes, bars and restaurants. City Life was a Manchester based news, culture and listings magazine which existed between 1983 and 2005 which was first started by a small group of Manchester University students.
