In the Second World War on the Home Front in the United Kingdom, there was a killer that took a toll on the civilian population - but it wasn't bombing.
It was the blackout, which caused more deaths and injuries than enemy action as people were involved in accidents caused by the very difficult driving conditions. Road vehicles were made to carry heavily-masked lights to conceal them from aircraft flying above, but the resulting effect was that it was virtually impossible to see in the dark and accidents were all too frequent.
There were frequent road safety promotional campaigns all over the country including in Manchester, where we can see tram number 1029 promoting a safety exhibition covering civilian safety at home, at work and not least on the roads. 1026 would have toured the city's tram routes, and it looks as though the 'tannoy' upstairs would have been used to exhort passers-by to be safe and to visit the exhibition at Manchester Central Library. No doubt the tone of the announcements was somewhere between 'irritating' and 'patronising'!
We are not sure exactly when the photo was taken but we're going to guess at 1942, as that would make 15 May a Friday and 24 May a Sunday.

I'm looking for other artists who do this kind of photography and are willing to be a mentor to me.
This is my first attempt and I'm bursting at the seams with ideas. I am struggling with the "behind the scenes" of work location/studio. Can anyone help me?
