A GUERILLA exhibition has popped up at Warrington s former Marks and Spencer store to give a new generation of photographers the chance to showcase their images. In 2020, final year students from all over the region were unable to host a degree show – the culmination of three years of work – due to pandemic restrictions. But thanks to a project by Manchester s Castlefield Gallery to breathe new life into unused commercial properties, the show will go on for 13 of the most promising new photographers from the north. Alberto Gonzalez A collaboration between a number of groups – including Culture Warrington and Warrington Borough Council – will see the First Light exhibition at the old M&S unit from tomorrow, Saturday, until July 4.

COMMENT | Stephenson’s music
Words: Phil Griffin | Architectural photography: Daniel Hopkinson
Roger Stephenson OBE has withdrawn from the front line of Manchester architecture, from a position and cause he has been fighting for in his own name since 1979. He has made enemies and lost battles, but few would deny that Roger Stephenson OBE has had a greater impact on the shape and face of contemporary Manchester than any individual since Alfred Waterhouse. If Manchester has a look, it came out of the Stephenson closet. He was awarded a First Class Honours degree by Liverpool University School of Architecture in 1969. Stephenson is a progressive, and he moved through BDP and Michael Hyde & Associates (as a partner) before establishing Stephenson Mills (with George Mills) in 1979.
