Well, depending on when you are reading this, Peter and I will be at the Glad to be In Chorlton Past and Present Exhibition at the Big Green Festival in St Clements Church on Edge Lane, or wondering just exactly where the day went.
We will be exploring what Chorlton was like in the 1850s and again at the beginning of the last century, and how it has changed. Peter will have some of his paintings of Beech Road on display and there will be photographs and stories by me of the road and its shops in the past. This in turn will provide a basis for a discussion on what we want for our community for the future.
And as part of this event we want you to enter the competition to win a Glad to be In Chorlton mug and a copy of my book* which will be out in the autumn by correctly identifying the picture detail from one of the paintings and one of the old photographs on display as well as telling us the shop which now trades on Beech Road from the location of what was Sunflowers.
Peter’s work is on display around Chorlton and can also be seen at https://www.facebook.com/paintingsfrompictures
