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.

Mid-2024 Update
I've been asked recently to do a couple of talks about this project. One was to my local camera club, the second is for U3A Hale and is scheduled for October 21st in Altrincham Town Hall. Come along if you can!
Judging by the click figures, the site is becoming more widely known every month. So, instead of scrolling through all that boasting on social media, why not spend some time scrolling around your local area?
Do let me know of any changes or developments you notice that you feel might interest your fellow Bowdonians.
