Strawberry Studios, Stockport
Situated on Waterloo Rd, Strawberry Studios were once owned by, and home of, 10cc and they were used to record the bands most popular albums in their 1970s peak. Subsequent visitors include Joy Division, The Stone Roses and The Smiths, although, as the plaque on the wall reminds us, it also welcomed less edgy performers such as Paul McCartney, Neil Sedaka and The Syd Lawrence Orchestra.

Resin-bound gravel paving, Hopes Carr
On the footway (guessing) is a very fine pea gravel spread over resin spread over tarmac. Around the trees is what appears to be another form of the material: a greater depth of coarser aggregate bound in a colourless resin. It will be disrupted by roots as the trees grow.
