A group of members from our branch headed to the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool to discover the life and work of architect, designer and artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Featuring more than 250 items, from furniture and embroidery to stained glass and architectural drawings, the exhibition explores the movement that became known as The Glasgow Style – the only Art Nouveau movement in the UK.

Making the most of the recent good weather, a group of our members headed out into Manchester for a guided walk on the theme of Slums and Squalor. They came back full of praise for the experience and highly recommend it!
