EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant transformation of Manchester City centre in the 1970s. Taken from the rooftop of Marks and Spencer, it offers a general view showcasing the city's new development. The iconic Old Shambles, although hidden behind corrugated sheeting, adds an air of mystery to this bustling scene. On the left side of the frame, Market Street intersects with Deansgate, two prominent streets that have witnessed countless stories unfold over time. The juxtaposition of old and new is evident as construction cranes dotting the skyline symbolize progress and growth. The image serves as a testament to Manchester's continuous redevelopment and regeneration efforts throughout history. It encapsulates a moment frozen in time when buildings were rising, cities were evolving, and urban landscapes were being reshaped. Photographer John Holland skillfully captures this street scene with his keen eye for detail and composition. His lens transports us back to August 13th, 1974, allowing us to witness firsthand how Manchester was transforming into a modern metropolis. This print is not just an artistic representation; it holds historical significance by documenting an era marked by change and innovation. It invites viewers to reflect on how cities evolve over time while appreciating their unique blend of past and present architecture.
