Dirty Old Town
Dirty Old Town
16 in stock
Inspired by the rough living conditions he witnessed growing up in Salford, Ewan MacColl originally wrote Dirty Old Town in 1949.
Since then, many people have covered it, including The Dubliners and The Pogues, and even Rod Stewart (before he discovered leopard print pants).
★★★★★ "The background detail is very thoughtful. The stencil effectuated for the main text and the lyrics suggest an element of decay, which was true of Salford in the 1940s and 1950s when the lyrics were written and I was a child of the city. The whole, including the name of the song's creator, creates an evocative and welcome addition to my wall as a constant reminder of where I came from." - Peter B.
Celebrate Salford, Manchester, or your own Dirty Old Town as wall art with this bold, graphic interpretation.
The print reproduces the original lyrics as sung by Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger.
I found my love by the gasworks croft / Dreamed a dream by the old canal / Kissed my girl by the factory wall / Dirty Old Town, Dirty Old Town

Hello there! I'm Alejandro De Luna, the heart and soul behind The Sense of Doubt, a boutique print studio dedicated to crafting captivating wall art inspired by music, pop culture, and cultural heritage.
A little insight into my journey: In 2010, I embarked on a life-changing adventure, leaving my roots in Mexico City. This voyage led me to live and work in some of the world's most inspiring cities, including Stockholm (Sweden), Hangzhou (China), London/Manchester (UK), and currently, Berlin/Leipzig (Germany) – the proud location of my studio where I bring my designs to life.
My passion lies in exploring diverse topics, immersing myself in research, and transforming my discoveries into unique wall art that not only stands out but also tells compelling stories. My aim is to create prints that not only catch the eye but also spark conversation, much like a beloved book or film that always reveals something new upon each visit.
Each piece of wall art is produced in small quantities and is hand-signed by me, with every step of the process—from research to design—handled personally by me in my cozy home studio.
Thank you for stopping by and for your support of my work!
