This evening I took the family to the opening night of the Urban Evolution exhibition at Stockport Story, next to the covered market – and I can strongly recommend it.

The exhibition takes a look at our history over the last seventy years, from the perspective of what it was like to be a young person in each age, from the Second World War through the fifties’ teenager’s bedroom to transistor radios and what it means to be a young person today.

That’s not all.  Not only did young volunteers contribute much of the content for the exhibition, they also planned the whole layout -a mixture of photos, film, posters, artefacts, sculpture and more.

Everyone involved can be very proud of what they’ve achieved. The Urban Evolution exhibition runs from 11th November 2009 to 28th February 2010 at Stockport Story Museum – don’t miss it.
