Manchester, Lancashire and the northwest region
have produced more than their fair share of famous people - pioneers,
explorers, scientists, philanthropists, explorers, inventors, artists,
musicians, actors, sports men and women, composers, social and political
reformers, film stars, media celebrities - all local heroes, as well
as a few notable villains.
Their names are immotalised throughout the region - in place names,
streets, districts, townships and squares, statues and monuments,
libraries, schools and institutions which still bear their names.
