For a small but gentile northern English town, Knutsford (about 15 miles south of Manchester) has more than its fair share of Italian inspired architecture. This is currently my favourite. The Italian buildings scattered through the town were designed early last century by well-travelled local glove manufacturer Richard Harding Watt.
Interesting name. And a bit surprising with the Italian architecture.
ReplyDeleteI am very interested to learn this... I must pay Knutsford a visit some day soon!
ReplyDeleteLike the way you've composed this one Chrissy.
ReplyDeleteOddly its a place I have never visited. Perhaps one day I might get over there, although there are plenty of places nearer here that I have not yet visited. I try to get out and about more now I have my Yorkshire photo library to stock.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo composition!
ReplyDeleteUnusual influences
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty!
ReplyDeleteVery nice composition!
ReplyDeleteAnd it inspires a poppropriation (for Adam&Joe fans) "Knutsford City Limits" by Ike&Tina Turner :-)
A nice observation. It almost makes me want to return and do a stroll round Knutsford to find the others...
ReplyDeleteA very great photo, I love it. Regards,
ReplyDeleteI think you mean genteel (rather than gentile), but I may be wrong ;)
