New "Canal Side" Exhibition By Photographer, Brett Trafford

Crafted by professional photographer Brett Trafford and wonderfully displayed in the Cafe Clique, Getliffe’s Yard, Leek, Staffordshire from the 1st to the 31st March 2012.

The free exhibition, “Canal Side” is an attempt to capture the many faces of the canal in all weathers and seasons.

The canal has been part of my life for over 15 years since moving to our current house over looking tunnel pool near Leek. It's the first thing I see every morning, its proximity means that a quick walk nearly always includes a stretch of it's banks and its ever changing face means I never tire of it. Over the years the canal has featured in many of my images but this is the first time that it has had star billing.

The images are a mix of digital photographs and slides, taken along the Leek and Caldon branches of the Trent and Mersey Canal over a number of years and most of the images are being exhibited for the first time.

This small stretch of canal, only about 10 miles in length, running down the picturesque Churnet Valley, it is very lightly used and has a quiet backwater feel to it, lots of deserted stretches and over hanging trees.
