Elizabeth Raffald lived in Manchester at the dawn of the Industrial Age. Her name is unfamiliar to most Mancunions and yet she was a powerhouse of hard work and entrepreneurialism, something for which Manchester has always been renowned. She was a confectioner, cookery writer and business woman who lived in Manchester from 1763, when she married at the age of 30, until she died in 1781 at the age of 48. In that time she produced a definitive cookbook and the first trade directory for Manchester, financed 2 newspapers, wrote a book on midwifery and yet still found time to have a family. After a varied career she was buried at Stockport parish church and her husband fled to London, possibly with her manuscript on midwifery which had been produced in collaboration with the surgeon, Charles White. Hers is a fascinating story, taking in many things and places including Arley Hall, Kersal Moor racecourse and teh Eccles cake. She is a woman who deserves to be remembered for her contribution to Manchester. -- back cover.

In 1772 Manchester was a fast growing town thanks to the rise in industrialisation. Elizabeth Raffald was a busy entrepreneur involving herself in numerous business ventures. She ran a shop, a cookery school, a coaching inn, a servant's employment register, wrote a cookbook and supported the local newspaper financially, wrote a manuscript on midwifery and so much more. She produced her 1769 cookbook, The Experienced English Housekeeper and saw a need for a directory of traders and notable people. Only 3 years after producing her cookbook she had compiled the first ever directory for Manchester, followed by a second a year later as the town grew and addresses were improved. She produced a third directory in 1781. After she died in 1781 it took another 7 years before anyone else attempted another directory. Elizabeth Raffald was truly a pioneer of her time.
