---------------------------

Readers may be interested to know that circumstances have compelled me to make the difficult decision to dispose of my collection of original images by the master Liverpool photographer Edward Chambre Hardman. These are not modern reprints but original masterpieces printed and signed by the photographer himself. This is a very rare opportunity. Go here for details- Old Photographs of Chester & Liverpool

Parkgate is a superb place. We often go over there just for the Fish and Chips, then maybe an Ice Cream. In the Chip Shop they have loads of old photos of Parkgate on the walls. Great Pic, Mart
