Get ready, folks, because the Stockport War Memorial Art Gallery is rolling out the red carpet for the . Titled *A Portrait of Stockport*, this retrospective features over 100 pieces of Clapcott's work, including the gems *The Power Station*, *The Last Carnival*, and *Brinksway 1979, Before The Motorway*. It's like a visual history tour of Stockport, minus the bus ride, as you roam through the artistic interpretations of a town that has seen more changes than your average soap opera.

But that's not all. To keep things interesting, sit back and soak in a 20-minute video featuring the delightful Tony Halton Films talking about Helen's artistic journey. Plus, you can even get your hands on the first major book about her work, *In the Light of Buildings*, penned by Andrew Lambirth. With decades of creativity under her belt, Clapcott knows a thing or two about capturing the essence of a town that's ditched its industrial past for a more modern vibe. So whether you're an art enthusiast or just someone looking to stroll around and nod thoughtfully, this exhibition is ready to welcome you with open arms and a splash of paint.
