Synopsis

This account of a migrant Irish family living in Angel Meadow arose out of my reading through the family correspondence of John and Bridget Hynes, their children and friends when they lived in what contemporary commentators called: "The lowest, most filthy, most unhealthy, and most wicked locality in Manchester ...” Angel Meadow during the mid and late 19th-century. Friedrich Engels, the German philosopher, social scientist, journalist and co-founder of Marxist theory lived, worked and loved in Manchester. When being escorted through Angel Meadow by his lover the Irish woman Mary Burns he was so horrified that he went on to write and publish ‘The Condition of the Working Class in England’ . His account proved to be very influential with British historians of the Industrial Revolution as he described the exploitation of the poor by the rich through Mancunian capitalism.
