The Printworks is an urban entertainment venue offering a cinema, clubs and eateries, located on the corner of Withy Grove and Corporation Street in Manchester city centre, England.
Located in the centre of the city, the UK’s second largest Hard Rock Cafe will rock your senses serving what can only be described as “The Official Food of Rock”, generous drinks and an awe-inspiring collection of rock memorabilia. Priceless pieces from legends The Beatles, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Oasis, and Elvis Presley grace the cafe walls along with more contemporary items including stage costumes worn by Natasha Bedingfield and the Arctic Monkeys.
As one of the city’s largest music experience destinations, Hard Rock Cafe Manchester can accommodate a crowd of up to 450 guests and features a Rock Shop, live concert stage for performances and special events, and a Rock Lounge mezzanine floor with its own cocktail bar available for private parties of up to 100 invited guests.
A Personal Matter (Kenzaburo Oe), Tim Lowly © 2010, reduction woodcut, 10" x 7.5"
The Japanese author Kenzaburo Oe is one of my primary contemporary touchstones as an artist. His disabled son Hikari has been at the center of his work in a parallel–if obviously different way–than my daughter Temma has centered my work. "A Personal Matter" is the book for which he won the Nobel prize for literature and even though it is not my favorite of his books the title seemed an effective indication of our shared interest in (among other things) producing art from personal experience.
This print was made as a response to the invitation by Printworks Gallery in Chicago to produce a print related to a favorite novel for their 2010 exhibition "Cover Stories: The Art of the Book Jacket".
Printed with the assistance of Rachel McHan.

Back after an extended layoff with a short series of photos taken at an exhibition, part of Galway's International Arts Festival, which opened Monday. This one, I think, gives off some Ed Hopper vibes. Diana Copperwhite's 'Onomatopoeia' series, which feature in my images, is on display at the Printworks Gallery until July 30.
The lands of Rouken Glen Park originally belonged to the Scottish Crown, and then to the Earl of Eglinton, presented to Hugh Montgomerie, 1st Earl of Eglinton on the marriage of his son in the year 1530 by James V.[1] It takes its name from the old Rock End Meal Mill in the glen, which dates back to the early 16th century. The remains of the meal mill can be seen at the foot of the waterfall, deep within the foliage and rhododendron bushes high on the slope away from the pathway. Amongst the park's owners were Walter Crum of Thornliebank and Archibald Cameron Corbett, M.P. for Tradeston, Glasgow (later Lord Rowallan) who gifted the estate and mansion house to the citizens of Glasgow. It was officially opened on 25 May 1906 and leased in June 1984 to the then Eastwood District Council, whose area was later included by the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 into East Renfrewshire. Rouken Glen Park is commonly referred to by the locals as 'Rookie G'.
Rouken Glen Park won the UK's Best Park as voted by YOU! 2016 Award at the Fields in Trust awards ceremony on 30 November 2016 - coming top in a public vote from 214 nominated parks across the UK.
The glen has many of the typical features of an Edwardian urban park, such as a boating pond started in 1923 by Sir Robert McAlpine to replace a former curling pond. Rouken Glen includes a large waterfall surrounded by steep woodland; the waterfall is based on a natural waterfall, doubled in height to form a reservoir to supply the printworks downstream at Thornliebank during the early 19th century. There is a walled garden in the grounds of the former manor, Birkenshaw house.

This is a printing house called "Mission Print". There was a rather large puddle outside the building and an appropriately parked yellow car. I like the riot of colours and reflections that the picture generates making for interesting viewing.

Urbis at night, Manchester city centre. Built in 2002, it
has been home to the National Football Museum since 2012.
Atrium, formerly Thomas Forman and Sons printers, Hucknall Road, Nottingham. This is the main entrance to what I think was the largest printworks in Nottingham.
Dark when I go to work, and dark when I come home so urban street work it is, for now. Wildlife has to take a back seat for a wee while.

One of (I think) two ex British Airways Leyland Nationals with unusual offside door that the embryonic MTL Manchester used for driver training when recruiting new drivers at start up. Both this and the other one (6186, WGY 586S) were eventually converted to regular layout for service.
The background is quite interesting as well, featuring a derelict Maxwell House, the former newspaper printing works, before its eventual conversion to the Printworks cinema and leisure complex. Mark Lane now forms part of the centre's entrance.
Manchester, Withy Grove, 28/01/1994.
Spurred by the investment after the 1996 terrorist bomb in the city, and aided by the XVII Commonwealth Games, the city centre has undergone extensive regeneration. New and renovated complexes such as The Printworks and Corn Exchange. This Building is part of a new development on the edge of the city centre.
