This fascinating selection of photographs traces some of the many ways in which Didsbury has changed and developed over the last century.
There have been some fine histories of Didsbury compiled over the last 150 years since the publication of A History of the Chapels of Didsbury & Chorlton by Revd John Booker in 1859. But now it is time for a new book, which does not attempt to revisit or repackage what already has been published but to do something different, viewing the history of Didsbury from another angle. Local painter and author Peter Topping and author and historian Andrew Simpson invite readers to dip into the pages of Didsbury Through Time to discover the changes that have occurred over the last century. Through a mix of old images paired with new, along with a selection of paintings by Peter himself, the lives of the people who lived behind the doors of Didsbury's fine buildings are uncovered.

Peter Topping is a well-known local artist, photographer and historian based in Manchester. Prominent in the area for charity and fundraising events, Peter has worked in publicity and publishing for forty years and is keen to put this into practice with Didsbury Through Time. As a previously published author on other local history titles, Peter has a lot of contacts in this field. Andrew Simpson is involved with The Together Trust, a charity based in the north of England that offers care, special education and community support to young people, adults and families with autism, a learning disability, physical disability, complex needs and emotional and behavioural difficulties.
