As I did not arrive in Manchester (having lived here my entire life) but wanting to use Manchester to influence my work I thought about my WAY of arriving into the city centre; the Metrolink system.
The Metrolink is a service unique to Manchester that carries almost 20 million passengers yearly and covers 23 miles with 37 stops. It is a relatively new service; it opened in 1992 and is regularly updated. Currently their multi-million pound improvement plan aims to increase the network with four new lines and new and improved facilities.
I am interested in looking at the mapping of the tram lines, both current and planned for the future. I will use this as my starting point.
I am also interested in pattern, floral imagery and natural forms. I would like to do some research into British flora, and I am very keen to look at the Botany collection at Manchester Museum.
