Old Hanging Ditch: Its Trades, Its Traders, and Its Renaissance is a historical book written by Henry Broadhurst Wilkinson in 1910. The book documents the history of Hanging Ditch, a street in Manchester, England, from the medieval period to the early 20th century. The author explores the various trades and industries that existed in the area, including the textile industry, the leather trade, and the production of goods such as soap and candles. The book also delves into the lives of the traders and merchants who worked in Hanging Ditch, providing insights into their daily routines, social interactions, and economic struggles. Additionally, the author discusses the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the area and how it contributed to the decline of traditional trades. Despite this decline, the book also highlights the renaissance of Hanging Ditch in the early 20th century as a thriving commercial and cultural hub. Overall, Old Hanging Ditch provides a detailed and engaging account of the history of a significant street in Manchester and its role in shaping the city's development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
