Subject: Your book - Staffordshire in Photographs

Message: Bought you book yesterday from Denstone Hall Farm Shop. - most impressed!

My wife hales from Cheadle, Staffs - I from a little further north.

I know the area well that you have pictured and have, since being able to use up some of my father's war time film during thr late 40s and 50s. going on to take a great interest in photography during my apprenticeship with English Electric in Stafford - continuing to work there for many years until the major change of ownership prompted me to leave both the Company and the area. Up until then, my new wife (married 1963) lived just up Pirehill road on Marlborough Road quite near to your location. Moving away to work for the UK branch of an Italian Company after they separated from Fairchild in the USA, I had to re-locate nearer to their branch office and labs in Aylesbury. Brackley is as far as I wanted to move which is where we still live after many years.

Photography has always remained a significant interest - although I no longer use my Nikon F but have moved to Panasonic G series and TZ cameras.

In order to achieve the results that are reproduced in your book must have taken aa considerable amount of time and planning. I much admire the results!!

With best regards,

Charles
