OUR SPACE<br />

David Graham Framers.<br />

David has worked in the Brewery<br />

since 1988. When he took on<br />

his first, very makeshift, studio<br />

it was essentially a building site,<br />

with a bucket in the cellar for a<br />

loo and ladders to get between<br />

the different floors. He runs his<br />

picture framing business from a<br />

big studio with a loophole window<br />

through which hops and barley<br />

were winched inside. In each of<br />

the rooms here you’ll see old<br />

brickwork, gnarled beams and<br />

strange metal cogs and wheels, all<br />

echoes of the building’s working<br />

history. You can imagine the yeastsweet<br />

smell of malt, the heat and<br />

clanking of the sack hoist that still<br />

juts from the outside wall. There’s<br />

even a tunnel (now blocked off)<br />

where barrels would be rolled<br />

underground to an off-licence in<br />

what is now Langton’s hairdresser’s<br />

on Fisher Street.<br />

Carry on up more stairs and you’ll<br />

find illustrator Liz Temperley,<br />

founder of Blank Inside De-<br />
