11 Dec 2020, 12:38 BIRDSONG…Is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a…? Well, yes, it’s a bird. Sort of. The ‘Mystery Bird’ travelling art installation has arrived in Greater Manchester this week – a 3 x 2 metre birdcage filled with the projected images of birds that are released to “fly” across buildings, trees and the streets of Manchester and Salford, to an accompanying soundscape. The show has been created by a collection of artists from across the North West whose combined skills in model-making, projection, design, sound, augmented reality and even beatboxing have brought the piece to life. The point is to celebrate people’s heightened awareness of nature during the pandemic, and how it has offered solace and relaxation for many during tough times. “So many people mentioned enjoying birds, listening to birdsong and getting involved with nature in general during the first lock down,” said Jude Jagger, programme producer at Salford Quays’ Quays Culture and co-creator of Mystery Bird. “Despite Covid-19 being devastating there are some aspects of this situation that have made us refocus on important factors in our lives. We want to play that back to people and deliver an ‘art at your front door’ wonder that will be truly special.”
A historic 300-year-old building in Rochdale town centre is up for sale. Grade-II listed Partnership House, the former vicarage of the medieval gothic St Chad’s Church, dates back to 1724 and is set in its own 1.07 acres of private grounds and gardens. Located within the Rochdale town centre conservation area on Sparrow Hill, close to Broadfield Park and Rochdale Town Hall, the historic property is detailed as ‘a fine example of Georgian architecture with many internal and external features’. Originally built for the Reverend Samuel Dunster (1675-1754), the eye-catching design was based on a similar house in London.
The building was acquired by Rochdale Borough Council from the Church Commissioners for England in 2004, although, over the years, has had several occupiers, most recently being used as offices for the Council Voluntary Service (CVS).
