I think it is now the Manchester Metropolitan School of Art. Part of the University. I had the opportunity to accompany a group of students to see the degree exhibition - they were extremely impressed as I was. However I did manage to take many photographs - the memorial was the most important item. I did photograph the plaques too - Have to go on the appropriate page but here is the memorial - together with the location shot.
The other plaques in the building refer to openings and centenaries and will be posted elsewhere but linked.
Lots of further research and a datapage to follow - but the names are more important.;
The outside of the main entrance. There are plaques on the outside. The inside was heaving with students! |
Close to the foyer is the roll of honour. Little bit different as the roll is colour coded.
My transcription has separated them.
