Manor House: The London District That Refuses to Be Defined
Between Hackney, Haringey and Islington lies Manor House — a North London neighbourhood of contradictions. Once a rural tavern stop, now a mix of wetlands, estates, and high-gloss towers, it’s a district that quietly captures the story of modern London.

One of many Cambridge street watercolours I did 30-40 years ago. Working on the spot uniquely preserves memories and feelings. The shop signs at that time in Green St were extravagantly beautiful and the passers by were sketched in quickly. Still have this one.

My front page story for Saturday’s South Wales Evening Post - A Swansea man threatened to cut off the testicles of the handyman who came to fix his tap before suffocating his partner with a pillow, stabbing a pensioner in the chest with a kitchen knife, and then sitting down on a sofa and laughing.
