 A collection of old photographs of Sheffield, A6, softback, black and white.

RRP: £9.99 

by Dave Akehurst

In stark contrast to many of our historical local books, David Akehurst’s book is right up to date with paintings of his Sheffield done over the last few years.

His style is refreshingly modern and contrasts nicely with Terry Gorman’s Then & Now that we also publish.

This title is very much a work in progress as David paints further pictures.

A future collector’s item!
