The Story 

My first design role took me to Manchester, behind Piccadilly Train station and just off Ancoats. Then (1980s) it was a run down part of the city with old mills by the canal. I loved it! My role was ladies wear blouse designer and we worked in a very old mill. Ducie Street was just around the corner.
