| Ding! Ding! ding! The bells at the factory ring, announcing that an attack is at hand. Just as you dart towards the building's main door --- boom! A bomb rips through the factory's ceiling and into the vats of paint, splashing a rainbow of colors around the room. You exit the factory's main door and head for the nearest bomb shelter. Boom! A bomb explodes several yards away, launching debris into the air. Luckily, you manage to avoid the bits of shooting concrete. Boom! The impact of another bomb launches you into the air. After getting up, you hobble towards the stairway that leads to the bomb shelter. You think you are home free when you get to the stairway, but you never saw the bomb that was released above you, just seconds earlier.If you want to be where history was made and is being made, visit England and stay in a hotel Manchester Thistle.Bombed but Not Out Much of Manchester had to be rebuilt after heavy bombing during World War II. The German air force, known as Luftwaffe, pounded the city's industrial structures with bombs. The most damage was done during 1941. The "Christmas Blitz" of that year wiped out much of the city's historic locations. But Manchester survived. Today, it functions as a UK city and metropolitan district of Greater Manchester. The city was founded in 1853, and today has a population of over two million people. Manchester is often referred to as the United Kingdom's "second city," and is generally considered the second best location for a UK business, second only to London.
