The exhibition will feature more than 100 images from nine Magnum photographers, who have gone behind-the-scenes at venues such as the Tate & Lyle and Vauxhall factories.
Commissioned last year by Magnum Photos and arts group Multistory, the nine photographers each concentrated on a specific region of the UK, to tell individual stories of manufacturing around the country.
