SynopsisA century on from the construction of an Edwardian street in inner Manchester, this contemporary portrait of the street tells the stories of today's residents. Born in sixteen countries from four continents, the stories told by the residents themselves narrate their journeys from nomadic herding in Somalia to conscientious objection in post-war Germany and the UK, and from arranged marriages in South Asia to arriving penniless from rural Ireland. With a common theme of making a new life in Manchester, this is an important account of a successful multi-cultural community in an ever-divided world. Each household's story is accompanied by a full colour portrait in front of their homes, and their occupations and birthplaces are compared to those who first occupied the houses in 1911, over 100 years ago., A century on from its original Edwardian construction, this contemporary portrait of a street in inner Manchester tells the stories of today's residents. Born in eighteen countries from four continents, the accounts told by the residents themselves narrate their journeys from nomadic herding in Somalia to conscientious objection in post-war Germany and the UK, and from arrangedmarriages in South Asia to arriving from rural Ireland to find work. With a common theme of making a new life in Manchester, this is an important account of a successful multicultural community in an ever-divided world. Profiling today's residents alongside those who occupied their homes at the time of the 1911 census, Stories of a Manchester Street provides a colourful reflection on the changes, resilience and sense of community that lives just around the corner on our inner-city streets., How people born all over the world came to live together on a multi-cultural street in inner-city Manchester
