About the Book

Alderley Park Discovered is written by former AstraZeneca chemist George Hill, whose carefully researched text is presented in a wonderfully lively and readable style. The 4-acre site is a unique and beautiful natural environment with a rich, varied history, beginning with the creation of the Park by the Stanley family from the sixteenth century. It is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, and George Hills considerable knowledge in this area reveals its wealth in the middle section of the book. He then tells of the Parks remarkable scientific inception by ICI, moving on to its huge growth under Zeneca and AstraZeneca, revealing the inside stories of the groundbreaking heart and cancer drugs discovered on the site. Now, under the auspices of Manchester Science Partnerships, Alderley Park has become a hub for Life Sciences, and is set to be developed for new residential and leisure purposes into the future. This fascinating, lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced book will be of huge appeal to anyone with connections to the Park, including current and former employees, local people and historians.

About the Author

George B. Hill was born in 1956. He joined ICI after a first class honours degree in chemistry at UMIST (Manchester), and worked as a synthetic organic research chemist in the Park for 34 years, half of it on projects in oral health, arthritis and antibiotics and the other half in the cancer area; he was a team member on the Faslodex(TM) and Tagrisso(TM) projects. His name is on 12 scientific papers, three as lead author. Outside science, he wrote the texts for the five Alderley Park History & Nature Trail guides; and edited the annual Alderley Park & Radnor Mere Wildlife Report from 1978 to 2011. He left AstraZeneca in 2012. George lives with his wife Christine in Cheshire where they are active at their local Baptist church. They have three wonderful grown-up children (one is a chemist). George now writes in several genres combining fiction, science, faith, history and poetry. His My Writing website at www.hillintheway.co.uk has details of his (mostly self-published) work.
