About this ebook
There have been some fine histories of Didsbury compiled over the last 150 years since the publication of A History of the Chapels of Didsbury & Chorlton by Revd John Booker in 1859. But now it is time for a new book, which does not attempt to revisit or repackage what already has been published but to do something different, viewing the history of Didsbury from another angle. Local painter and author Peter Topping and author and historian Andrew Simpson invite readers to dip into the pages of Didsbury Through Time to discover the changes that have occurred over the last century. Through a mix of old images paired with new, along with a selection of paintings by Peter himself, the lives of the people who lived behind the doors of Didsbury's fine buildings are uncovered.
