 1996 Manchester bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manchester City Centre bombing was a terrorist attack in Manchester, England by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA).
While the bulk of the city centre rebuilding work was complete by 2000, further redevelopment of affected buildings (notably the northern corner of the Arndale Centre) was not completed until 2005.
Much of the re-development of the City was planned to be completed before the opening ceremony, which meant that some of the more intricate re-building was scheduled for a time after the aesthetic rebuilding had been completed.

Manchester Bombing and the IRA bombing in Manchester City Centre June 1996

Whilst much of the city centre has now reopened, the immediate area surrounding the blast site, including parts of the Arndale Centre, the Corn Exchange, the Royal Exchange, Royal Insurance's Longridge House and Marks and Spencer's remain cordoned off and a considerable amount of demolition has had to take place.

 Talk:Manchester - Wikitravel
The thing is, Manchester's not usually classed as part of Lancashire anymore, but as you say it's part of the new metropolitan county of "Greater Manchester" (Greater Manchester consisting of Bolton, Bury, Manchester itself, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan).
They definately are towns and small cities of their own rights, I was just saying they're referred to as districts of Greater Manchester, but thinking in the terms of Wikitravel, they would constitute here as small cities.
Above, it seems to imply that because you couldn't sleep/eat/sight-see in just one district in Manchester then it should all stay in the one article, however I was looking around Wikitravel:Geographical_hierarchy#Districts and that seemed to imply that a district warrants having a district page depending on the content rather than the physical size.
