I am looking forward to reading this book which arrived in the letter box yesterday. As a Kiwi and resident of Te Tai Tokerau Northland, Aotearoa New Zealand's most northern region, I may be Brian Groom's most distant fan.

Fantastic, enjoy!

I can thoroughly recommend this superbly written, solidly researched book, which catalogues Manchester's often overlooked contribution to human progress and forces us to consider the importance of so-called second cities everywhere. Thanks, Brian, for giving the world this marvellous book.

Hey Brian. Thanks for the follow. I loved Northerners. A great read. We need to weaponise our cultural history more, and not just the big cities. I'm from Teesside. We built the world.
