Our chapter on Manchester as a 'hydraulic city' read through original maps and plans of water supplies and sewage systems has been published in a new edited book Mapping Cultures: Place, Practice, Performance (Palgrave). The book is a useful collection of pieces relating to spatial representation and aspects of urbanity, expertly pulled together by Les Roberts . You can read an uncorrected pageproof version of the chapter, ' Maps, Memories and Manchester: The Cartographic Imagination of the Hidden Networks of the Hydraulic City '. Below is an example of the kinds of historical mapping we analyse, in this case a simple segmented chart of the Thirlmere aqueduct, a triumph of Victorian engineering that brings fresh water from the Lake District  down to Manchester.   (Source: The Engineer , 19th October 1894, page 340.  A scanned copy of this issue is available from Grace's Guide .)
