Guest Posted July 23, 2018 Share #21 Posted July 23, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Andy - have Stephens moved from their original central Manchester location? Last time I was in I walked from Victoria Stn and past Selfridges then went down into an arcade and the shop was on the right. Next door up some steps was the other Stephens shop. Same place?? It’s not been called Stephens for years. It’s now called Leica Store Manchester. David is still very active but his son Ben (an extremely nice guy) has got more involved over the last few years with Rick,Steve and Stewart and at least one more who,s name escapes me.The shop is in good hands for the future.

Advertisement Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Hi Guest, Take a look here Top 20: LUF Book 2018 Exhibition - Manchester. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lanetomlane Posted July 23, 2018 Share #22 Posted July 23, 2018 To me it will always be Stephens. I started dealing with David's Dad when it used to be Stephens of Salford. The first Leica camera I bought from there was a Double Wind M3 in 1969. I hate to think how much money I've handed over their counter since, but have enjoyed the service, friendship and product.

MartinEB Posted July 25, 2018 Share #24 Posted July 25, 2018 Hi, I am booked to be there. See you Saturday! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share #25 Posted July 25, 2018 I have just delivered the prints to David, who has kindly offered to hang them over the next couple of days. Therefore, if anyone was going to bust a gut to get there to help on Saturday morning (thanks for the offers), you can rest easy and arrive at your leisure!

stunsworth Posted July 25, 2018 Share #26 Posted July 25, 2018 Thanks Andy, what time are you hoping to get there on Saturday? There seems to be a temporary bus service in place from my local railway station this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share #27 Posted July 25, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I will still get there in the morning, to put labels on the 20 prints etc. Unfortunately, there is no tram service from the office (where I can park for free) to the city from Saturday, so I will have to look at other options.

lanetomlane Posted July 26, 2018 Share #28 Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) We'll park in Leigh, where we're staying on Saturday night and come in on the guided bus. Of course, using our Bus Passes, it's free. Catch up with you Saturday. Edited July 26, 2018 by lanetomlane Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted July 26, 2018 Share #29 Posted July 26, 2018 We'll park in Leigh, where we're staying on Saturday night and come in on the guided bus. Of course, using our Bus Passes, it's free. I don't know if it makes it any easier, but there's a park and ride car park off Astley Street in Tyldesley, and another big one on the East Lancs where it goes under the M60. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musotographer Posted July 27, 2018 Share #30 Posted July 27, 2018 Very sorry to let you down Andy, but sadly I'm not going to be able to make it up to Manchester tomorrow after all. I hope there may be a chance to get there and see the show later on - have a great afternoon everyone. Christopher Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 28, 2018 Share #33 Posted July 28, 2018 Had a very pleasant visit with Barbara to the Leica store Manchester this afternoon. Well worth a visit to view some great photographs. Had a nice chat with Andy but unfortunatly missed Paul Mac who had been there in the morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DES Posted July 28, 2018 Share #34 Posted July 28, 2018 It was great to see Andy again, and get cought up with all things Leica. The photos look fab, and the staff all very knowledgable and helpful. The M10 is calling........ Even think I got my brother interested. Thanks to all. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted July 29, 2018 Share #36 Posted July 29, 2018 Paul, thanks for the photos, I’m sorry I couldn’t make it in the end. I don’t know what the problem was with the photos as the forum allows much bigger ones, but thank you for posting them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share #37 Posted July 29, 2018 Thanks to everyone who came along yesterday, especially those who drove, trained or even flew a long way. I hope you all enjoyed your visit to Manchester. And thanks to Paul for posting these. And especially I’d like to thank all of the 20 photos’ authors who generously sponsored the printing of the shots. I must offer a special thanks too, to David who kindly offered the space for the exhibition and bought the drinks and sandwiches, and all his colleagues who worked extremely hard on Saturday morning getting everything ready for two o’clock. Everyone that I spoke to that was there was very impressed with the body of work on display - and rightly so. Now, I just need to get over the “Doh!” moment I had driving into town yesterday and get a little display piece so that people know where to buy the actual books! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DES Posted August 3, 2018 Share #38 Posted August 3, 2018 Pics from yesterday Leica Forum Book 2018 Exhibition, event in Manchester. Sorry about the really low res but forum limits prevent larger images. Sure you all get the gist of it though! I tried to contact you but couldn’t for some reason. Thanks Des Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beena22 Posted August 5, 2018 Share #39 Posted August 5, 2018 Thanks for sharing the photos. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to see my photo hanging up - a shame as I’ve never had anything displayed in a gallery. If anyone has a shot of the Kiosk Guy they could share I would be very grateful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
