On a wave of post-war optimism, Manchester's planners dreamt of visionary infrastructure projects to modernise the city. This exhibition showcases four of the proposed projects' drawings, videos, promotional materials and contemporary newspaper cut-outs. Two of the projects went ahead and two never made it from the draughtsman's drawing board, and have been gathering dust until now.

As excuses for lateness go that’s quite a concrete one (pun semi intentional). The late start did however allow all attendees to take full advantage of the ample refreshments provided with many going back for seconds and, impressively, thirds.
