EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of Manchester in 1972. The image showcases the talented members of the Manchester Cathedral Ladies Embroidery Group, proudly displaying their exquisite handiwork. From left to right, we see Jessie Townson, Rose Horrocks, Joan Fern, Leah Morrison, and Margaret Sherwood. These five remarkable women have dedicated countless hours perfecting their craft, creating intricate embroidery pieces that are nothing short of masterful. Their passion for this ancient art form is evident as they stand together with beaming smiles and a sense of accomplishment. The backdrop for this snapshot is none other than the magnificent Manchester Cathedral itself. This medieval church on Victoria Street has long been a symbol of faith and spirituality in the city. As seat of the Bishop of Manchester, it holds great significance within the Church of England. Known officially as the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George in Manchester, this architectural marvel provides a fitting setting for these talented embroiderers to showcase their work. It serves as a testament to both tradition and creativity coming together harmoniously. As we gaze upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints by C Cooksey, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within these delicate stitches but also how communities can come together through shared passions such as embroidery.
