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.

News for November 2026
The work to transfer the site to the Adobe Portfolio hosting platform has recently started in earnest. As mentioned earlier, it won't have quite as many features as this one, but it will be much cheaper for me (as an individual) to maintain.
If you're interested, you can follow the progress of the new site by visiting its development page at:

In the meantime, tell your friends to stop scrolling through all that boasting on social media and take a look around their local area instead.
