""A story assembled from everyday objects, unassumingly and quietly, that stuns and horrifies by increments...The Canal may look, at first glance, like a love story, but it harnesses the power of parable." John Wray, author of Lowboy.

Central Station . . .
My recent review of Kevin Cummins's 'Manchester: Looking for the Light through the Pouring Rain' in the New Stateman and my interview of Kevin for 3AM Magazine has got me thinking about Manchester again. I kind of miss the place. It's been a decade since I last lived there. All my family still live there. I have recently been looking at youtube for old clips of the Madchester era of my youth. It was heartening to find this footage of Central Station Design. Incidentally, Central Station Design's Karen Jackson, seen in the below footage with Matt and Pat Carroll, is my cousin.
