JOHN MYERS
THE END OF MANUFACTURING
John Myers captures one of the major changes that affected the British landscape and society in the last half of the twentieth century: the end of manufacturing and the emergence of the world of warehousing, logistics, retailing and tarmac. The photographs were taken between 1981 and 1988 in a part of England called the Black Country, known as the workshop of the world, when the metal manufacturing was particularly affected and the manufacturing landscape disappeared.

Housed in the fascinating 16th century Palazzo Sanguinetti, in Strada Maggiore 34. The building, donated by Eleonora Sanguinetti in 1986, underwent a long period of restoration in order to return the remarkable interior to original splendour: these frescoes painted in the 19th century are among the highest artistic achievements of the napoleonic and neoclassical period in Bologna. Rooms are decorated by Pelagio Pelagi, Serafino Barozzi, Vincenzo Martinelli, Antonio Basoli.
