About the Work
Anne Worthington produced a significant body of documentary work recording inner-city communities in East Manchester in the early 2000s, prior to the area’s large-scale regeneration.
Her photographs focus on the neighbourhoods of Beswick, Clayton, and Openshaw, capturing the final years of these industrial districts alongside the everyday lives of the people who lived there. The work pays close attention to community, resilience, and the informal networks that sustained daily life as local institutions fell away.
A selection of Worthington’s photographs documenting East Manchester was included in the touring exhibition A Woman’s Work.
Framing
All British Culture Archive editions include a white border around the image. Border widths vary between prints, reflecting the original proportions of each photograph.
For presentation, we recommend using a custom-cut mount sized to the printed image area. This ensures the full image, along with any signature and edition details, remains visible.
A professional framer can advise on appropriate mounting, archival materials, and glazing. Prints may also be framed without a mount if preferred, although a mount is typically used for an exhibition-style finish.
British Culture Archive prints and editions are supplied unframed.

All British Culture Archive prints and editions are prepared and dispatched with care. Smaller prints are packed flat using archival materials. Larger works are rolled and shipped in robust tubes designed for fine art transport. Each print is inspected and securely packaged prior to dispatch.
