INCREDIBLE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS SHOW MANCHESTER EXPLODING INTO LIFE AFTER LOCKDOWN

Award-winning street photographer Mark Waugh has captured images of the new normal, as the streets of Manchester reopen for the first time in over three months.

Taken on ‘Super Saturday’, the people of Manchester can be seen enjoying the reopening of their favourite venues as restrictions were eased nationwide. 

In contrast with the eerie photographs taken during the peak of lockdown, the images capture the lively scenes of pubs, restaurants and hairdressers welcoming customers again. 

The photographs were collected as part of Cartridge Save’s A Day In The Life experiment, to show how the city has adjusted in line with lockdown restrictions being lifted on 4th July. 

Event organiser, Ian Cowley, of Cartridge Save said: “The images from Saturday highlight the stark contrast between Manchester before and after lockdown.

“We worked closely with Mark to ensure we captured a moment of history as pubs, bars and hairdressers reopened for the first time in more than three months.

“These images captured by Mark are a perfect example of Manchester adapting to a new way of living after months of solitude.”
