The story of The University of Manchester is defined by some of the greatest academic minds, educational innovators and cultural icons. In a new series of videos, staff from the University tell us which of these figures are their heritage heroes, explaining their achievements and why they resonate today.

Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe (1833–1915) was a chemist and university administrator.
