The Pattern of Streets – Unlocking the Hidden Language of Our Urban Fabric - Ramsbottom Railway Station
Ramsbottom Railway Station, Railway Street, Ramsbottom, Bury, Greater Manchester, BL0 9AL
Every street has a story. From the curve of a cobbled lane to the placement of a doorway, our urban landscapes are alive with meaning—layers built up through the choices and craftsmanship of generations.
Join photographer and architectural historian Andy Marshall for a slow and thoughtful walk through the local streets, uncovering the patterns and principles hidden in plain sight. Drawing on his background in the history of art and architecture, and a lifetime spent exploring Britain’s built environment, Andy will show how developing our eye transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.
This one-mile journey isn’t just about observation—it’s about engagement. You’re invited to record the experience in any medium you choose: sketch, photograph, or simply pause and reflect. Andy will bring along some of his own sketches and favourite books for inspiration, adding layers to your own discoveries.
Comfortable shoes and weatherproof clothing recommended. There may be some uneven gravel surfaces and cobble stones.
