"Covering over 7 years of documentary photography along this iconic stretch of Wilmslow Road in Rusholme, Manchester, photographers Michael Baker & Phil Portus have captured significant moments in time. Commencing in 2016 following a chance meeting with a local charity worker, Hanif Bobat, of Ethnic Health Forum, they set out to capture the ever-changing landscape and cultural diversity of the ‘Curry Mile’ before it changed beyond all recognition".*

My great grandparents kept a herbalist/ confectioners shop at 135 Wilmslow Road in the 1880s. They made their own ice cream. Right in the heart of what was to become the Curry mile!
