Tameside poster

Tameside poster

Tameside poster by Eric Jackson, Statement Artworks

Eric Jackson June 16, 2016

It's not West Side Story - this is Tameside Story! Tameside, to the East of Manchester and Stockport, is a loose confederation of former mill towns and suburbs. Like the EU, it has not always been a comfortable union. Who, after all, wants to be part of something with 'side' in its made-up title? But the area has some nice countryside and several little gems, such as the Stalybridge Buffet Bar, which is actually on the platform at the train station. It's one of the top 10 pubs in the north west. My poster features the Ashton War Memorial, a fine piece of civic sculpture. The poster is available at markets throughout the north west, including Knutsford, Altrincham, Manchester Northern Quarter, Urmston, West Didsbury, Macclesfield, Wilmslow and Eccles, at selected galleries and shops and at www.statementartworks.com

Comment

From the Manchester Evening News

Stone Roses singer Ian Brown famously said ‘Manchester’s got everything except a beach’ - but now it’s even being touted as a seaside resort by an artist.

Eric Jackson has created posters of different towns and cities in the region and are inspired by traditional seaside advertisements for tourists.

But the humorous posters have a twist as they actually poke fun at the places they depict.

Eric, 58, said: “They are meant to be a bit cheeky without being offensive, to highlight the idiosyncrasies and quirkiness of a place.

“For example, the headline on the Chorlton poster, which shows a yoga woman with a teapot on her head, is: ‘Be different – just like everyone else in Chorlton.’

“The people of Chorlton will get that joke and hopefully laugh at it.”
