  • People's History Museum Timeline
    People’s History Museum timeline 1960s A group of activists, including the Trade Union Labour and Co-operative History Society (TULC), begin to collect historical campaign materials about the rights of working people. 1975 The National Museum of Labour History (NMLH) is opened by Prime Minister Harold Wilson in Limehouse Town Hall in Tower Hamlets, London. The collection on display to the public includes writer and political activist Thomas Paine’s (1737-1809) desk and banners that would go on to form what would become the largest collection of political and trade union banners in the world. 1980-1984 The museum rescues material that would simply have been lost otherwise. The museum also acquires the complete collection from prominent activist Walter Southgate (1890-1986). This sees the museum grow from one room in Limehouse Town Hall to the entire building. 1985 The museum acquires a vast part of influential artist Cliff Rowe’s (1904-1989) work including paintings, works on paper, sketchbooks and folios. Many of the images capture female scientists at work. July 1986 A Board of Trustees is created by Michael Foot MP and General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers' Union (TGWU) Jack Jones. 1988 The museum’s future is threatened by a lack of funding, the collection is rescued by Manchester City Council and the Greater Manchester authorities, with the help of the Trades Union Congress (TUC). The move to Manchester begins. February 1989 Director Dr Nick Mansfield is appointed and builds up a team of qualified staff, and the existing collection begins to be properly catalogued and conserved.

  • WYTHENSHAWE Manchester’S Municipal Garden City
    deposit copy of manuscript Mary Corbin Sies, Isabelle Gournay and Robert Freestone eds. (2019) Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change, Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press (ISBN 978-0-8122-5114- 2) ch.14, pp.297-316 WYTHENSHAWE Manchester’s Municipal Garden City James Hopkins and Michael Hebbert One of the sorrier chapters in recent British housing history has been the steep decline of garden suburbs built by councils in the early twentieth century in a spirit of social and environmental idealism. Anne Power of the London School of Economics was one of the first British researchers to reveal the extent of neighborhood decline in these low-density council estates. A surprising number of the “estates on the edge” in her book of that title (Power 1997) were suburban—thus on the edge in a physical as well as a metaphorical sense. Martin Crookston’s study of the characteristic problems of these cottage estates shows how heritage awareness may help them to meet the challenges of change. His study, with a title Garden Suburbs of Tomorrow? that deliberately echoes Ebenezer Howard’s work, shows how the historical legacy of these estates might be harnessed to the urgent task of urban renewal (Crookston 2014). Here we follow the challenges of heritage, preservation, and change in just such a setting, perhaps the most iconic of Britain’s cottage estates, Wythenshawe. 11 Conception of a Garden City Wythenshawe is Manchester's very own garden city, created by the municipality in response to the housing problem as it existed

    Elizabeth Price Curates: IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO ​ SURVIVE AND YOU WERE FULL OF JOY A Hayward Touring exhibition opening at the Whitworth, The University of Manchester (10 June ­ 30 October 2016, then touring) Seventy artists including: Constantin Brancusi, Edward Burra, Alice Channer, John Flaxman, Edward Onslow Ford, Henry Fuseli, Rodney Graham, Anthea Hamilton, Richard Hamilton, Jenny Holzer, Hilary Lloyd, The Lumière Brothers, Giulio Paolini, Carolee ​ ​ Schneemann, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Andy Warhol, and Francesca Woodman Turner Prize­winning artist Elizabeth Price (b.1966) curates IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO ​ SURVIVE AND YOU WERE FULL OF JOY, opening at the The University of Manchester’s Whitworth ​ ​ on 10th June, and touring to the De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on Sea, and the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, ​ ​ ​ Swansea. This is the latest in a series of Hayward Touring exhibitions curated by artists. These exhibitions often embrace an eclectic range of historical and contemporary works, offering illuminating insights into the artist's own creative processes as well as the relationships between the works chosen. Elizabeth Price is one of Britain's most thoughtful and original artists, whose video installations use a dynamic fusion of image, text and music to explore aspects of social history. She will stage this exhibition as ‘an austere melodrama’ exploring the psychological and formal power of the horizontal, in a vast repertoire of images of the reclining or recumbent body ­ in varying states of weariness, stupor, reverie, grief, death, erotic transport and languor. The exhibition will include sculptures, drawings, photographs, film and videos ​ ​ arranged in four loosely threaded sections: Sleeping, Working, Mourning and Dancing.
