Signs Of The Times Didsbury
A collection of 50 classic, original signs taken all around Didsbury Village - from street signs, pubs, shops and parks, the signs are printed, hand painted, or carved in stone and wood.If you have a particular sign - your own street, business or gatepost sign perhaps, I’m happy to discuss taking an extra picture or two and working into the piece.

West Didsbury Alive

I have now created a large collection of West Didsbury pictures, and welcome people to choose what means the most to them from my collection. Am happy to show the collection at my home.This picture comprises The Lime Tree, Gurka Grill, the Metropolitan; The gates at Cavendish Road School, the back alley behind Brooklands Avenue; the wallpaper at the Nose (before it closed); and Greens.
