It's not West Side Story - this is Tameside Story! Tameside, to the East of Manchester and Stockport, is a loose confederation of former mill towns and suburbs. Like the EU, it has not always been a comfortable union. Who, after all, wants to be part of something with 'side' in its made-up title? But the area has some nice countryside and several little gems, such as the Stalybridge Buffet Bar, which is actually on the platform at the train station. It's one of the top 10 pubs in the north west. My poster features the Ashton War Memorial, a fine piece of civic sculpture. The poster is available at markets throughout the north west, including Knutsford, Altrincham, Manchester Northern Quarter, Urmston, West Didsbury, Macclesfield, Wilmslow and Eccles, at selected galleries and shops and at www.statementartworks.com
