The city centre is on a "tentative list" of UNESCO World Heritage Sites—mainly based around its network of canals and mills, which facilitated its development during the Industrial Revolution of the nineteenth century*.
The city is named from the old Roman name Mamuciam, thought to be a latinisation of the original Celtic name (possibly mamm meaning 'breast' or 'breast-like hill'), plus the Old English ceaster, derived from the Latin castra, meaning "camp".
