Posters from the Past ........... no 13 ......... Come Home to Salford

Now the project is simple, take a modern image of a building we all love and turn it into the style of poster which was popular in the middle decades of the last century.*


In this case it is those iconic cranes at the Quays which long outlasted the docks but eventually were taken down.

I won’t be alone in wishing they had been retained, so in their honour I asked Peter to give them pride of place in another of our Posters from the Past.
