Unlocking Salford Quays: The Inside Story Sat 28 August – Fri 31 December 2010

Our new sculpture trail, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, opens later this year. Thanks to the work of local people, we’ve amassed a huge collection of work that tells the hidden history of the area. In part 1 of this special exhibition you can ‘unlock’ the past - see the research, artwork and photography that has inspired the 5 public artists creating the sculptures. Part 2 will open when the trail launches - see the artists’ models and drawings for the sculptures themselves and tell us your memories and impressions of the Quays.

The exhibition of Unlocking Salford Quays The Inside Story will be shown on The Deck at the Lowry, Pier 8, Salford Quays M50 3AZ

Members of Manchester Liners Old Shipmates Association have contributed in the creation of this project.

Your petition reads:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Keep June 27th as Veterans day & Not re-name it Armed Forces Day as this cuts out all Civilian Veterans who also gave Their Lives in service to their country.

Please return June 27th to "Veterans Day" there is no logical reason to change it, As It covers All our Veterans, both Armed Forces and Civilians. If you change it, You once again cut out the "Fourth Service The British Merchant Navy" Who lost 32,000+ Men & Women in WWII alone. Sure have an Armed forces day but not June 27th, I and my members will support that all the way.   

Please support my Petition and thank you all in anticipation.   

John D Meadowcroft.

Thanks for submitting your petition.
