I'd point out your modification to 1.9 isn't what would have made me get it wrong - Manchester was a major sight of the Industrial Revolution as well
That said, you're clearly pointing me to Birmingham although i think Manchester qua Manchester (ie without its suburbs) is bigger.

quite correct on Birmingham . And of course i should have written more on that clue so as to not cause any possibility of mistaking it for Manchester (which will have its clue later on when we're in that part of the country.)
