Looking downstream from Albert Bridge. The building on the left is the People’s History Museum (PHM). The PHM in Manchester is the national museum of democracy, telling the story of its development in Britain: past, present, and future. The museum offers a programme with annual themes; 2018 looked at representation and commemorated 100 years since the first women and all men got the vote; 2019 involves a year of activities around protest movements to mark the bicentenary of the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester. As part of the 2019 Peterloo commemorations, the PHM commissioned a large mural which can be seen on the wall of the former pump-house. (For a closer look, and more detail, see Image]).
