Welcome to the Streets of Bowdon Photography Project
Fancy yourself as a lyricist?
You may be old enough to remember the song "Streets of London", which was written by Ralph McTell and appeared on his "Spiral Staircase" album in 1969 (it wasn't released as a single until 1974). Click here for a YouTube video reminder from 1975 (other versions are available...). Original lyrics can be found here.
Fancy creating a version for the 21st century called "Streets of Bowdon"? Make your lyrics fit the tune, but come up with your own take to reflect how you feel about Bowdon. As many verses as you like. There's no firm deadline, and the only rule is that you must be a resident of Bowdon. I'll be offering a prize (tbd) for the version I like best.
Scroll down to the next section to submit your entry/entries.
More competitions will be added over the coming months, so keep visiting...

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.
