My books are currently (mostly) stored away, and so I enjoyed this article about the Martha Rosler Library project, which I saw a few years ago in Edinburgh. I like the author's words that the project, in part, was about, "reviving the library as a site and source of inspiration, dialogue, dispute and perhaps rebellion".

I love this photo of the old Chorlton station. Its ghost rises again in the form of a new metro stop, which threatens to open any day now. The new metro line follows the old railway line route.
I found it when reading about Manchester Archive's historical photo project. They want help in pinpointing the location of the subjects in their photography collection. Browse the map here.
