Handle With Care

Manchester Town Hall is four years into a six year restoration program. All paintings, statues and other artefacts have been carefully removed, cleaned, catalogued and stored for safe keeping ready to be re-installed in their rightful place when the Town Hall is re-opened to the public in 2024. This print by ‘Rainman’ replaces a painting of William Booth by an unknown artist and is the last painting to be brought down from the State Room.

I photographed this image, (including William Booth in colour), outside the Town Hall on one of the hoardings surrounding the work site; I have no idea who the photographer is but it is from a collection of prints by Manchester City Council.
