I think those are all Trish Murtha’s photos, taken around Newcastle’s West End
British Culture Archive were going to be doing an exhibition of them but think it got pushed back, Covid etc

Is that Pontus Alv?
Not sure how I missed this thread, so much amazing stuff. I came across these stamps that would fit in here. Been searching for them on eBay, but no luck so far.

Those are beautiful.
