This clearly written and lavishly illustrated work of reference is,
of course, a necessary purchase for all libraries but it can also
be unreservedly recommended to urban and local historians.
*HISTORY*
One of the best urban volumes that the VCH has ever produced.
Unquestionably the most important book ever written on the
city.
*NORTHERN HISTORY, XLIII*
Shows many of the strengths of the VCH: evident scholarship and
assiduous research combined with an accessible and easy style of
presentation which encourages the casual reader to read on. [...]
[It] will remain as an impressive and valuable contribution to the
historiography of Cheshire.
*CHESHIRE HISTORY, vol. 45, 2005*
