EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Manchester in the 1970s. The image captures a significant moment in history as "The lifting of the Old Shambles" begins its transformation. With precision and care, workers delicately raise this architectural gem by about half an inch on July 22nd, 1971. The scene showcases the dedication and craftsmanship involved in construction during that era. A group of men can be seen meticulously coordinating their efforts to lift this historic structure, which was once home to notable establishments such as Sinclairs Oyster Bar and the Old Wellington Inn. These iconic landmarks were witness to countless stories shared over pints of ale or lively phone conversations at public telephone booths. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a world where redevelopment is underway but still respects the rich heritage that lies beneath it all. The intricate details of the buildings' facades stand out against a backdrop of busy streets filled with vintage cars and pedestrians going about their daily lives. Peter Stubbs skillfully captures both nostalgia and progress through his lens, reminding us that even small actions like raising a building by half an inch can have profound implications for urban development. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Manchester's ever-evolving landscape while honoring its past - a testament to human ingenuity shaping our cities throughout time.
