Beauty and Beyond: Stafford Street, Eccleshall
Bethan Ward at No. 10 Stafford Street is Eccleshall’s go-to destination for beauty and undies. I drew this street not long before we moved to Scotland and I’m finally updating this archive three years later. It’s a timely post as I gather from their Facebook page that Bethan Ward is shortly relocating to Fletcher’s Garden…

Summer is in full swing and it has brought to mind those warm red-brick Staffordshire evenings before we moved up to Scotland.

It would be interesting to learn a little more about who lived in these…

1-35 High Street, Eccleshall
This is the third in the Eccleshall series. It’s the south side of the High Street, directly opposite the last Eccleshall drawing I posted on this blog. The street begins with an early 19th century red brick building, listed grade 2 which stands on the corner of High Street and Stafford Street. It’s now home…

2-30a High Street, Eccleshall
Hello and a warm welcome back to my blog. I have had a quiet spell recovering from some fractures and it is great to be back drawing again. It has been a tonic to work on the second drawing of the rural Staffordshire town, High Street, Eccleshall. High Street forms part of Character Area One…

Eccleshall – Stone Road
Hello and welcome back to my drawing archive. It has been a while since I have posted over here but it doesn’t mean I have fallen off the wagon, far from it! I have been getting stuck into quite a few more street drawings and I am delighted to share this first one in Eccleshall,…
