From the Archives II

From The Archives 2 : Deconstruction/Construction, is a collaboration with Manchester's historic Chethams Library, presenting images from their slide collection.

Together with the Modernist Society, I curated a series of 6 photo books each focussing on the demolition and rebuilding of Manchester. The majority of these images are rarely seen and have never been in print before. The images are historical, from the 1960s, 70s and 80s and were scanned from the original slides.

The individual books are beautifully litho printed in full colour and are themselves limited edition.

The individual titles are: Progress, Housing, M62, Market Place, Piccadilly, Wythenshawe
