I thought that I would move my focus from the Sheffield pubs and buildings for my next project and I took a walk with my camera around Manchester.

I had been recommended a few iconic buildings and decided to start with the Star & Garter.

I also took the opportunity to photograph the following……..

Peveril of the Peak
The Britons Protection
Deaf Institute, and
Gullivers

so I guess one of these will be next.

As always I’m open to suggestions, so let me know if you want anything adding to the list.

I took a walk with my camera down to Bramall Lane in Sheffield. Thought I would look at getting a pic of one of the famous pubs which would be well known to supporters of Sheffield United.

I decided on The Cricketers’ Arms on John Street; a pub which I have personally visited on a few occasions. I have to say that I never went on match days as you can’t get near the bar!

It was a dull day so quite a challenge to get a “bright” picture. However I took the picture knowing that I was going to hand draw and colour the image so a great exposure was unnecessary.

Hope you like the end result.

I have also drawn other Sheffield pubs here.
