I have a large and ever growing collection of Tameside pictures, of
which this is a taster. The first four art works comprise a mix of different
Tameside images created for a commission.
Having created large collections of Denton, whilst working on a
commission for Denton Community College (and which now hang there), and of
Droylsden, which hang in the Droylsden Academy - I have also built up a
sizeable collection of other areas of Tameside including a wonderful experience
photographing in ruined mills around Stalybridge. All my collections can be
seen at my Didsbury studio.
