From Curry Mile to Shisha Mile - the images capturing the changing face of Wilmslow Road
Travel a couple of miles out of Manchester city centre along Oxford Road and you will eventually come across a sign welcoming you to the ‘Curry Mile’.
“Hanif wanted help archiving Rusholme as it is today, and from there we started documenting ‘Curry Mile’ - as it was in 2016 - not really with a vision, other than a view to always having an exhibition,” Michael told the M.E.N."It was meant to take place in April 2020, so when that was cancelled, it broadened our scope and what we have now is a much more comprehensive record, expanded over seven years.
Michael adds: “When people hear Curry Mile they have their own version of what it is and that might be based on times they went as a student or when they went with families many years ago, and it’s not really that anymore - but we’re positive about the change. Meanwhile, Rabnawaz Akbar, the Labour councillor for Rusholme, told them that around 90 different dialects and languages are spoken in the area.
According to Phil, the pub’s manager told them that at its peak, and while City were still on Maine Road, they could take enough money on a Saturday match day, with fans coming in and out, to close the pub for the rest of the week - though the brewery wouldn’t allow that.
