        ABOUT THE AUTHOR



                                      I have been painting pictures since I was a
                                      boy; infact, as I often says “I was born an
                                      artist”. I arrived in Chorlton in 1970 after a
                                      4 year training course in Art and Design. It
                                      seems to me that, in this changing world of
                                      diversity, not many people nowadays are
                                      still doing the job that they trained for.
                                          Having had a fruitful life in advertising
                                      and exhibitions, I retired at 60 to pursue
                                      the pleasure of painting. It was at this stage
                                      that I re-established a long lost friendship
                                      with local historian Andrew Simpson. As we
                                      say, “Peter paints the pictures and Andrew
                                      tells the stories.”
                                          Andrew is a well-known author and
                                      historian and together we set about
                                      delivering the history of Chorlton, Andrew
                                      providing the research, historic background
                                      and stories, and me taking the pictures and
                                      providing paintings and graphic design for
                                      the story boards and books.
                                          Together, Andrew and I have written:
