Our exhibition Mapping Manchester is now open to the public in Rylands Library. The photo above shows the invited guests to the 'private view' from Wednesday evening, with the Reading Room lit up in bright sunshine. (Photograph taken by Antonio da Cruz.)

Some details on the exhibition are given in the press release to promote it to the media. BBC Manchester have featured a slideshow of images from the exhibition, including the city centre map from the 1945 Plan.
