Peoples Hist Museo

These are a selection of photos from my visit to the People's History Museum in Manchester. (pretty bad photos - I'll blame bad lighting). Graphically I think the political posters appeal to me more (left on slide 3, left slide 5). I think I need adjust my approach to this project as I'm feeling quite stuck. The posters along with elements of the banners and maybe a bit of punky lo-fi production might be the approach. Reading 'Road to Wigan Pier' mentions slums in Leeds and Sheffield etc. Think most were in Quarry Hill and were cleared but there are some back to back houses a few streets away from mine now. There are gaps in the rows where I guess houses have been demolished. Going to take photos of these. Getting more elements but still feeling a bit spread out and not 100% where its going. Currently got a few books about textiles (one about clothes with propaganda on and one about trade union banners as well as one about punk publication - not textiles) I think this is the kind of 3 targets I'm going for. I know what I want but I can't visualise it.
