We are excited to now be stocking the new book ‘Helen Clapcott: In the Light of Buildings’ by Andrew Lambirth.
This book explores the life and works of Helen Clapcott, who has spent half a century painting the evolving landscape of North-West England, particularly the transformation of Stockport’s industrial valley into a commuter corridor.
