Salford, so much to thank for

Thanks to Salford University who let me in this afternoon to photograph their CCTV control room. The morning had been spent over the road at The Working Class Movement Library and thanks are due to the volunteers and staff who found me the original 1949 reviews of Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four, from The Daily Worker, New Statesman, Socialist Leader and Daily Herald. Both of these labours were for my forthcoming exhibition, next door at Salford Museum and Art Gallery, which at the moment is showing a retrospective of Shirley Baker’s excellent photographs.
