"What the Judge Saw: Being Twenty-Five Years in Manchester" by Edward Abbott Parry is a reflective memoir written in the early 20th century. The author, who has served as a judge, recounts his experiences and observations during his lengthy career in Manchester, showcasing his affectionate yet critical perspective on the city and its people. The work explores themes of nostalgia, identity, and the passage of time, offering insights into both personal and societal changes over the decades. The opening of the memoir introduces us to Parry's bittersweet farewell to Manchester as he reflects on his return to London after a significant period in the city. He fondly recalls the nostalgia associated with places and people, contrasting his memories of the vibrant past with the present's changes. Parry expresses an attachment to Manchester, despite acknowledging the city’s flaws and the "duller" aspects of its current inhabitants. His narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of his life and career, hinting at the rich tapestry of experiences, both mundane and profound, that have shaped his relationship with Manchester and his reflections on the nature of home and belonging.
