Welcome to today’s newsletter. We will be digging into the City of Manchester in today’s episode of City Watch. Kindly stay with me as I show you fascinating reasons why you ought to make visiting Manchester a goal.
Before we continue, do you know the meaning of the word Manchester? It means household linen and cotton but that's not the reason why the city was named Manchester. It was named Manchester because it is thought to be a breast-like hill. The word breast-like in Latin is called Mamucium which translates to Manchester in English.
Now let’s quickly look into three fascinating reasons why you should visit Manchester.
In Manchester, you can take a Mummy degree.
What does this mean? It means that you can gain admission into the university to study Motherhood in Manchester. Sounds interesting right? Manchester is the only place in the world where you’ll find this degree, you can't find it elsewhere.

Rolls met Royce to become Rolls-Royce in Manchester.
