Each titled and signed by hand.
Postage and packaging:
sent 2nd class signed-for delivery in the UK (£4)
sent international recorded for the rest of the world (£8)
My spiel about the scene here:
More contrasts going on in this scene with the Manchattan-style clusters in the background and the 19th century buildings in the front. The original name for the station, Knott Mill, was also the name given to the area, there's records of a mill on this site from the 16th century. An industrial mill later renamed the more exotic 'Brazil Mill' seems later to have been built on the site of the Medieval watermill.
The Bridgewater Canal, the first true industrial canal system in Britain, was completed in 1761 and ended at the area, just a hundred meters or so to the right.
The tower to the right was a church designed by Edward Walters, who also designed the Free Trade Hall in Manchester. It later became a studio for music mogul Pete Waterman and was where Rick Astley most certainly didn't record the vocals to Never Gonna Give You Up, despite the Manchester Evening News claiming he did.
