Aphrodites in the shed
A Black and White Life in Concrete, Stuston, Suffolk - 3rd September 1992
Nosher's landlords Geoff and Brenda had been toiling for years making concrete garden ornaments for supply to several local garden centres and suchlike. Despite this particularly hard way of life taking up most of their waking hours for around 30 years, they took not one single photograph of it, so the only ones in existence are the few featured here. The business has now been sold following their retirement, and the sheds and ornaments have now all gone. There are also some photos from the greater environs of Diss and Billingford, a trip to Geoff's friend's machine sheds in Palgrave, and a trip to meet Sis at the Old Man's place in Macclesfield.
