Denton Carnival

If anyone took any photographs of this years carnival could you please upload them. Again I found out that it was the carnival one week too late...

Another upate...

Website has been updated again, however Ive only added around 30 images... Ive not been in Denton since Christmas so I've not been able to take new photographs and hardly anyone are uploading images. At this rate the website will not be updated again untill the beginning of 2010, if theres no interest in the website I will close the website in 2010. Thanks to anyone who has bothered to upload images, enjoy the small update...

Website updated Easter 2009

Yes its true the website has been updated again, seems to be only every couple of months its being updated now. Hope everyone is having a happy Easter, don’t eat too many eggs will you.. Anyway back to the website, I have uploaded a lot of Ads and quite a few photographs from the years past. Most of the images have come from a couple of books I managed to lay my hands on. The books page has also been updated and more information about the books has been included. PDFs have been added, you can find these on the Other Links page. Unfortunately, my scanner decided to give in half way through scanning but hopefully I will get them done soon as soon as I manage to get a refund for the scanner. Have a happy Easter and enjoy the updates, don’t forget it’s hard to update the website without people uploading images. If you can help then please do, why don’t you take your camera and take a few shoots or look through you’re photo albums, big thanks to everyone that has uploaded.

New Year first update

www.dentonmanchester.co.uk and www.crownpointeast.co.uk have now been updated with photographs, maps and other links. Don't forget we really need youre help to keep the websites updated, scans of photographs, postcards, maps, videos can all be uploaded to the website with a quick click of a button. Without them the website wouldn't be updated, I do what I can but I live in Wales its not like I'm on the doorstep and able to take photographs everyday. Big thanks to everyone that has helped, enjoy the update...

Website Updated, Xmas Photos, Civic Square etc

Happy New Year to everyone, hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. I got a MAN flu, wasn't what I asked for but you should be grateful for anything right? Whilst I was in Denton over the Christmas period, I did not manage to take as many photographs as I wanted, spent most of the time finishing off Christmas shopping and then I was too knackered or the weather was too cold to go on a shoot. However I have uploaded just under 50 photographs, a few of the lights around the Civic Square area, must say this is the first time I have seen it and I am not impressed. What a waste of money not to mention the 100+ years Denton has had a market all destroyed for what a water fountain, flags and a few benches. Would it have been so hard to put this waste of space in the park away from the main traffic. Don't forget kids will be playing in the water in the summer, you have a taxi rank, main roads, traffic fumes also traffic bypass the lights by zooming down Victoria Street. Why didn’t they build the market up use the car park as well where the fair use to be, have a bridge connecting them both up. They could have relocated the few shops left, knocked them down, and make more space for a new market; I think all it needed was a bigger site for the market to attract consumers and the right traders. This is just my thoughts but what a waste of money and time...
