 Manchester History and the heritage of Greater Manchester
In early times, Manchester was a little-known hamlet adjacent to, and belonging to the then noble town of Salford.
The Grelley manor, (now Chetham's School of Music), was fortified on three sides as it overlooked the River Irk on one side, a tributary ditch on another side and the River Irwell on another - it was therefore a superb defensive position, standing high on a sandstone bluff with effective natural defences.
Manchester became a Baronial Borough (thereby an independent self-governing entity) in 1301, still ruled by the Lord of the Manor, but with an appointed "boroughreeve" (or Mayor) who handled day-to-day administration of the borough.

House Music - It's been fifteen years or so since the first identifiably house tracks were put on to vinyl, ten years which have changed the technology behind the electronic music revolution beyond recognition but left the basic structure of house intact.
