1983 Eighties Everyday Manchester Martin Smokers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a Manchester nightclub in the 1980s, with a group of smokers huddled outside, shielding themselves from the cold and the rain. The scene takes place on a bustling street corner, where the sounds of lively music and laughter spill out from the club's doors. The smokers, dressed in working-class attire, appear deep in conversation, their faces illuminated by the orange glow of their cigarettes. The photograph, taken circa 1983, offers a glimpse into the social life of Manchester during this era. The city was known for its vibrant nightlife and music scene, with a diverse range of clubs catering to different tastes and crowds. Smoking was still a common practice in social settings, and the presence of smokers outside the club reflects the norms of the time. Despite the rough exterior of the scene, there is a sense of camaraderie and community among the smokers. They seem to be enjoying each other's company, sharing stories and laughter as they take a break from the excitement inside. The photograph also captures the gritty, urban texture of Manchester's streets, with the wet pavement, neon lights, and the looming club sign in the background. This image is a poignant reminder of the everyday social life of Manchester in the 1980s, a time when the city was at the forefront of cultural and musical innovation. It offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the ways in which our social habits and norms have changed over the years.
