About the Authors

Peter Topping and Andrew Simpson have been
working together for a number of years
developing projects linked to the history of South
Manchester. It is, as Peter said, a collaboration
where he paints the pictures and Andrew tells the
stories. Their work has appeared in venues across
South Manchester, including an 80 metre mural,
which was commissioned by a large building
company and opened by Lord Bradley of
Withington in 2012. Peter and Andrew also work
independently.
Peter’s work is much admired and he regularly
exhibits his work, showcasing it on his website at
www.paintingsfrompictures.co.uk
Andrew writes extensively on a range of
historical subjects, contributing to various
publications including Canadian ones and
produces a popular history blog at
www.chorltonhistory.blogspot.co.uk His books
include a study of rural Chorlton in the 19th
century, a book on Manchester in the Great War
published in 2017 and he has been commissioned
to write the history of a well known children’s
charity.
