Patchwork World

As a group we have chosen the 'patchwork world' scenerio. We are looking at the cultures/different areas within Manchester like a patchwork and so are planning to bring these different areas together. We all have seperate areas to investigate and I am going to look into the area around Deansgate,(Deansgate, Victoria street/station, Cheetham). I am particularly interested in the history of this place and want to look at the fashion, buildings and people and their past.


Things to look at :


- Kendal Milnes                           -Peterloo masacre 1819
- Forthsize                                   -Cheetham hill- Jewish culture(moved from Russia) Strangeways
- John Rylands library                  -Fashions from the past and influence on todays fashion (vintage)
-Victoria station
