"Manning: A Journey Through Time and Space" Step into the captivating world of Manning, a name that resonates with history and diverse experiences. From its humble beginnings at the Orphan Asylum in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, to the influential presence of Archbishop Manning on Clerkenwell Green in London, 1872; this is a tale that spans generations. Intriguingly captured within a photograph from 1890, Manning's enigmatic persona emerges as we delve deeper. It becomes apparent that there is more than meets the eye - an essence akin to the City of Living Dead itself. Yet amidst this mystique lies unexpected joy. Northern comedians bring laughter and mirth to audiences far and wide, while Perry Como's music cover "Papa Loves Mambo" fills hearts with nostalgic melodies. Manning takes on new dimensions when we explore its connection to maritime heritage. Witnessing brave souls manning the mast aboard Royal Navy vessels during the early 1900s evokes admiration for their courage and dedication. The story continues with RMS Lusitania's propaganda medal, leaflet, and other items serving as poignant reminders of historical events. These artifacts remind us of both triumphs and tragedies etched into our collective memory. But it doesn't end there – Broken Walls in Perth stand tall as testaments to resilience against adversity. They symbolize how even when faced with challenges or obstacles, Manning remains unyielding. ADVENTURE MACHINES come alive through Manning's legacy – innovation intertwined with imagination. The spirit of William Oke Manning (1879-1958), designer extraordinaire alongside Sqn Ldr ?, propels us forward into an era where dreams become reality through ingenuity. Finally, we find solace in reflecting upon solemn moments such as Requiem Mass Death Funerals held in 1892 Funeral for those who have departed but are forever remembered by those who remain.
