Oxford Street, Manchester 1956

Original Oil Painting by leading Northern artist Steven Scholes.

Manchester in it’s 1950s heyday. The lights of the shops, restaurants and cinemas twinkle in the evening light, as cars and buses drive with full headlights in the rain. The street bustles with life; workers on their way home, couples heading to the cinema, families nipping to Evans for new shoes. We see a train in the distance and advertisements for Guinness, Persil and Pears Soap. Nostalgic and evocative, Steven’s exquisite detail brings the bygone era of Oxford Street, Manchester to life.
