THE LEGENDARY COSGROVE HALL UNVEILS ARCHIVE WITH POSTMAN PAT AND DANGER MOUSE
Manchester institutions don’t come more revered than the legendary Cosgrove Hall.
Home to some of the most memorable and beloved animation series of the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s - before it closed its doors in 2009 - the work of Brian Cosgrove and Mark Hall, alongside countless supremely talented artists and puppetmakers, still resonates today.
The likes of Danger Mouse, Postman Pat, Chorlton and the Wheelies, Noddy, Count Duckula and The BFG were all brought to life from their studio in - where else - Chorlton.
New Order’s Bernard Sumner even worked there for a spell, as did Stone Roses guitarist John Squire.
Now a permanent archive of their work - from miniature sets to original armature figures - has taken residence in Sale Library.
Head down to see it, it’s a joy.
