Ardwick Research

Ardwick began in the 19th century as a pleasant, wealthy suburb of Manchester, however it became heavily industrialised with the advent of the industrial revolution. Even worse when the factories and industries dwindled, Ardwick became one of Manchester's most deprived areas. Most notably Charles Dicken's sister leaved there and he would visit frequently, in fact Christmas Carol was inspired partly by the village, and Tiny Tim and Fan were based on his sister and frail nephew.  Today Ardwick is more stable but is still in need of development.
