The Stockport Collection

During the first national lockdown, photographer Heidi Alexander, discovered some negatives from weekend visits to Stockport Market. These images shot as an undergraduate student in the 1970's went into storage, occasionally to be dragged around house moves but mainly forgotten for over four decades.

Once scanned, Heidi Alexander was able to see these images properly for the first time in almost 45 years.

‘I remember well the charm of Stockport Market from when I was a student at Manchester Polytechnic in the early 70s. Heidi has captured that time and period very well in this book.'
