EDITORS COMMENTS
Manchesters oldest building, the Shambles, is rising to new heights in this print captured by Robert Rendle. The year is 1971, and the city's iconic structure is undergoing a remarkable transformation that showcases both its historical significance and adaptability for modern development. In the image, we witness ganger man Pat Hegarty skillfully overseeing the delicate process of raising the building five feet on hydraulic jacks. This feat of engineering not only demonstrates Hegarty's expertise but also highlights the immense challenges faced during this ambitious project. As construction progresses, a service road leading to an underground car park is being carefully constructed underneath. This addition will undoubtedly enhance accessibility while preserving the architectural integrity of Manchester's beloved landmark. The photograph transports us back to an era where manual labor was at its peak. We see dedicated workers wielding spades and digging diligently as they contribute their efforts towards reshaping history. The presence of old establishments like Sinclairs Oyster Bar and Old Wellington Inn adds a touch of nostalgia, reminding us of Manchester's rich cultural heritage. Robert Rendle masterfully captures this pivotal moment in time when progress meets tradition. His lens immortalizes not just bricks and mortar but also pays homage to those who labored tirelessly behind these grand transformations. This stunning print serves as a testament to Manchesters' commitment to revitalizing its urban landscape while honoring its past.
