Queen’s Cinema Square by Sid Manley Image copyright Chris Manley

An exhibition of early 20^th and 21^st century photography by Sid and Chris Manley.

This father and son exhibition spans nearly 90 years of photography: Sid Manley working in the mid-1920s, producing long exposure night photographs on glass negatives, and his son Chris retaking the same locations in 2013, with a contemporary eye, using high-resolution digital cameras.

Chris curated this exhibition, which focuses on his father’s work and offers a unique social viewpoint of the world between the two world wars, giving us a personal perspective of a time gone by.
