In the above photos I tried to copy exactly drawings made by the Alnwick artist Barbara Woodhouse and published by her in her book “Zig-Zag Alnwick”. I had a copy of the book in front of me and I positioned the camera so that the picture on the photo looked exactly the same as the drawing in the book. There are actually two volumes of this book “Zig-Zag Alnwick” by Barbara Woodhouse. The books “Zig-Zag Alnwick” were printed by Aln Printers in their factory in Greensfield, Alnwick.
