Ancoats Connection – Between Light and Brick

In this striking black and white composition, Kris Massey captures the quiet tension between two former mill buildings in Ancoats, Manchester — once the engine room of the Industrial Revolution. A lone iron walkway slices across the sky, casting sharp shadows and drawing the eye skyward. The contrast between soft clouds and hard geometry evokes both history and isolation, industry and stillness. It’s a portrait of Manchester in transition, where echoes of its working past remain suspended in steel and sunlight.
