Manchester and Castle fields photo shoot

This is my photo shoot for Manchester and Castle fields that I have taken as I feel Manchester and Castle fields is at the heart of the north west as they play a huge part in the industrial revolution as the north west was the industrial capital of the world back in the 1800s and Manchester was the place to be as Castle fields was the gate way for their cotton trade as the canal boats used to come in from all over the world for their textiles and cotton trade.

Manchester is also well known for their music scenes through out the decades during the late 20th century as their has been great musical acts and venues during the 70s, 80s and 90s and has also inspired other music scenes such as Acid house and Brit pop. Manchester and the North West has a range of different music genera's such as Soul, indie and Acid house and thier has been so many great venues such as the Wigan Casino for Northern Soul, the Hacienda for Acid house and Madchester and also some other great venues such as The Cavern in Liverpool where acts like The Beatles and Cilla Black performed. Manchester was the home of independent record label 'Factory Records' who found many bands such as Joy Division, New Order and The Happy Mondays. Factory Records was founded by Tony Wilson who was a TV presentor for Granada studios which was based in Manchester.
