Lomography is coming to Oldham Street (the former No Angel store by Magma) in Manchester’s Northern Quarter… hooray I hear you photography loving types cry. Although an opening date has not been confirmed the company has been recruiting for staff in recent weeks so *fingers crossed* the doors will be flung open soon. If you’re itching to get shopping and snapping then are some Lomo photos taken in Manchester for some inspiration.

The Lomography store isn’t the only new opening in the Northern Quarter to look forward to with two additions to Tib Street coming very soon. The first of them is the Superstore an independent convenience store, which gives the finger to the proliferation of Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s Local outlets in the city centre. Whilst next door FYG (@fygnq) offers patrons the opportunity to love, eat, drink and chill – which all sounds grand to me – at their deli/cafe venue… something the NQ has been lacking since the closure of Love Saves The Day and more recently An Outlet (RIP).

All in all exciting times for the neighbourhood…
