The Simons of Manchester

The Simons of Manchester revives the history of one of Manchester's most influential families, the Simons.

The book investigates the lives and public work of Henry and Emily Simon, and Ernest and Shena Simon.

Through philanthropy and work in social reform, the two generations of the Simons greatly enriched Manchester's cultural and civic institutions, worked to improve the lives of its citizens, and helped to spearhead profound national reforms in health, housing, planning and education.

While many people in Manchester are familiar with the Simon name through Shena Simon College, Simonsway, and the Simon Building at the University of Manchester, there is scant public knowledge of who the Simons were and their legacy.

As such, this edited volume of collected essays aims to illuminate their fascinating lives and public service to rehabilitate the Simons and examine their local and national significance.

The book is published by Manchester University Press and there is a chance to buy the book at the event.
