Abstract
In two sequences, Simon Schaffer sketches the background to the linking of Liverpool and Manchester, with their world networks, through the railways. The combination of textiles and slavery produced huge wealth and incentives to efficient communications. London saw incremental growth, but southern Lancashire witnessed revolutionary growth which amazed people.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
