I am Dr Deborah Woodman, a researcher, writer and local historian. I spent over 25 years working in the Higher Education Sector in a professional services and teaching capacity. I was in research development for many years, and I have taught history at the Universities of Huddersfield, Salford, and Manchester Metropolitan University. I now have the joy of researching my passion for history full-time.

My research to-date has mainly focused on the Manchester region, but time now allows me to expand my horizons. I also specialise in the history of drink in society, trade and commerce, popular politics, and issues around class and society during the nineteenth century.
