New additions

I am hoping to take some more photographs in town in the next few months. I was looking at my list of landmarks to use in my printmaking project and feel I need to add a few more. This list could get bigger than I expect!
The new subjects are; Crown Inn with Viaduct and Little Underbank. Apparently, I have been informed that there are a set of old photographs of Stockport on display in St. Mary’s church which I will check out in due course.

New subjects added

Two new landmarks have been added to my list of proposed printmaking subjects;

Garrick Theatre
Stockport College
