This is the second in a new series, created especially for Stored Honey’s paid subscribers, in which I ask a curator to pick out their five favourite items on display in their museum or gallery. This time, we’re at People’s History Museum in Manchester, where its director Clare Barlow suggests five highlights for visitors with only an hour to spare.
