The Manchester Man is a 1920 British silent drama film directed by Bert Wynne and starring Hayford Hobbs, Aileen Bagot and Joan Hestor.[1] It was an adaptation of the 1876 novel The Manchester Man by Isabella Banks. It follows the lifetime of a Manchester resident Jabez Clegg during the turbulent 19th century.
The plot has been summarized by Denis Gifford as "Lancashire, 1800. Clerk loves merchant's daughter who elopes with crook."[2]
