I'm from York originally. 'Nuff said.
No? Ok then - we spawned and schooled Guy Fawkes. The only gunpowder plotter stoopid enough to sit there and get caught, ffs.
Emperor Constantine (the first Christian Roman Emperor) was crowned there.
Not sure about more recent stuff - not my time.

lovin this thread..........i feel proud....lol
:twisted: .....
Manchester was the world's first industrialised city and played a central role during the Industrial Revolution. It was the dominant international centre of textile manufacture and cotton spinning. During the 19th century it acquired the nickname Cottonopolis, suggesting it was a metropolis of cotton mills. Manchester City Centre is now on a tentative list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, mainly due to the network of canals and mills constructed during its 19th-century development.
So, If not for us Mancs you would have been sat in the dark now, wearing wool... or something like that!!!:? :? :?
And if it wasn't for the foundry 's and metal bashers of the midlands you'd still be sat on a big pile of cotton wondering wtf to do with it :haha:
