Old Stockport

 
Stockport from times past.
My latest painting has been inspired by the architecture of buildings in around
Stockport that are no longer on the landscape.
The only permanent structure is the viaduct, waiting to welcome us home.
 
Some amazing buildings have  been demolished some out of necessity (falling down, unsafe) others
to make way for the council planning our 'modern 'town.
Give me old any day, it makes me feel sad that some of these buildings have been left to go derelict
or just pulled down and replaced with some monstrosity.

 
I am fairly sure that most of you Stopfordians will recognise the images on my painting.
most probably a lot of you will have worked or danced and drank in some of them.
