About the project
The Streets of Bowdon Photography Project
Hello, and thanks for dropping by. The aim of this personal urban photography project is to create a record of all the 148 named streets and developments in the former township of Bowdon, now part of Altrincham in the borough of Trafford, Greater Manchester (click here to see some area maps of Bowdon or here for a street map).
Ideally, it'd be good to create a portfolio showing every street in every season, but that might not happen... Anyway, I'll try and make the photos a bit more "creative" next time around! Thanks for all your supportive comments so far, and do keep your eyes peeled for a geezer in a high-vis vest with a camera. He's perfectly harmless.
This website continues to be developed, so every time you visit it there may be something new to see. It seems to work best with Google Chrome.

Late 2024 Update
Unsurprisingly perhaps, there's been a flurry of new visitors to the site since my presentation to the Hale U3A History Group on October 21st. If you're one of them - welcome! I hope you found the site and the talk interesting.
Instead of scrolling through all that boasting on social media, why not spend some time scrolling around your local area?
