Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
 Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RR that I take it a little more seriously. I started off here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now so I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLR SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)ÂÂ
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children. I NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.      I also have an interest in anything historical.  I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.    Alan

Nice duo Alan, when I worked for Initial City Link, I used to park my Lorry near these phone boxes, and have my sarnie and hot tea :)

The big ironwork inside looks vintage turn of the century (19 to 20). Is that about right...maybe a little earlier? Like the way you've put these two pictures together. Bill

I love that right side shot! It has a cozy feel to it. Yes, a meat market with a cozy feel... :-) I bet it has quite a history.

Good set of photos here. I think they would have looked even better with a bit of selective colouring.

Hmmmmm. Something about this rings a bell. I think Elizabeth George used this setting in one of her Inspector Lynley mysteries. (I could easily be wrong about that!)

I used to go to the Old Smithfield Market in Manchester and the new one up Ashton Road, but I have never visited this one in London. Excellent captures Alan, nice to see the old phone boxes as well, they are far and few between nowadays. Did you know all Heywood boxes were changed to accept cards only, there were that many of them robbed when they were coin boxes. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!! If I don't see you today, I will pick you up at 06:00 on Tuesday.

Brilliant photos, so much history in this place. As a veggie its my nightmare, however, I do appreciate history and all that it entails.
