PATTERNS IN MANCHESTER

Patterns can be found anywhere from stones on the floor, creating a patterned path... 

 
... to wall tiles in the MMA.


Even the architecture has a distinct pattern in them - the windows, engravings and colours - all from the past when they were built with unity in mind. The designs of buildings, old and new, keeping the distinct features give Manchester part of its identity.



The honeycomb pattern behind the busy bee found all around Manchester is considered the symbol for the town and represents its industrial past. As well as spotting the Manchester bee around town there was a sign that was repetitive, 'Post no Bills'. This phrase generally means don't put any signs up here and cities like Manchester including New York have them all over.

 

Prints, graphic designs and posters - this one in particular shows a distinctive geometric pattern from a street poster.
