    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.

  • Merrial Street

    Merrial Street corner with High street. Meet the local students on their way into town from Newcastle College. Hoods are for warmth here! Carlton House dates back to 1769 with a mid 19th century addition and is listed grade 2. Do you have any idea who ‘JS’ is? I would love to hear from you.…
