A new archive featuring treasures from some of the most revered corners of Manchester pop culture is to take residence at the historic John Rylands library. The British Pop Archive will bring together all manner of materials from song lyrics and posters to photographs from the likes of Joy Division to Granada TV for the exhibition.
Many of the items included in the huge archive have never been seen before by the public, and for fans of Manchester’s rich music scene, some of the exhibits will be mind-blowing. Fans of Joy Division will be able to see the hand-written lyrics of classic songs like She’s Lost Control and Atmosphere.
